<u>Answer-</u>

<em>After 76 swings</em><em> the angle through which it swings less than 1°</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

From the question,

Angle of the first of swing = 30° and then each succeeding oscillation is through 95% of the angle of the one before it.

So the angle of the second swing = (30\times \frac{95}{100})^{\circ}

Then the angle of third swing = (30\times (\frac{95}{100})^2)^{\circ}

So, this follows a Geometric Progression.

(30,\ 30\cdot \frac{95}{100},\ 30\cdot (\frac{95}{100})^2............,0)

a = The initial term = 30

r = Common ratio = \frac{95}{100}

As we have to find the number swings when the angle swept by the pendulum is less than 1°.

So we have the nth number is the series as 1, applying the formula

T_n=ar^{n-1}

Putting the values,

\Rightarrow 1=30(\frac{95}{100})^{n-1}

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{30} =(\frac{95}{100})^{n-1}

Taking logarithm of both sides,

\Rightarrow \log \frac{1}{30} =\log (\frac{95}{100})^{n-1}

\Rightarrow \log \frac{1}{30} =(n-1)\log (\frac{95}{100})

\Rightarrow -1.5=(n-1)(-0.02)

\Rightarrow 1.5=(n-1)(0.02)

\Rightarrow n-1=\dfrac{1.5}{0.02}

\Rightarrow n-1=75

\Rightarrow n=76

Therefore, after 76 swings the angle through which it swings less than 1°

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Direct Variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A car travels at a distance of d km. The formula that relates d to t is d=kt

To find: kind of variation

Solution:

The formula that relates d to t is d=kt

Here, k is a constant of proportionality.

Constant of proportionality is also called as constant of variation.

d varies directly as t.

Therefore, this is a direct variation.

Use grouping symbols and at least one exponent to write a numerical expression that has a value of 80.
Kaylis [27]

To group an expression, means that the factors of the expression are to be separated in (), [] or {}.

An expression with a value of 80 is: 2^2 \times ( [2 + 2] \times [3 + 2] )

The number is given as:

80

Factorize

80 = 2 \times 40

Factorize 40

80 = 2 \times 2 \times 20

Express 2 \times 2 as an exponent

80 = 2^2 \times 20

Express 20 as 4 x 5

80 = 2^2 \times ( 4 \times 5)

Express 5 as 3 + 2

80 = 2^2 \times ( 4 \times [3 + 2] )

Express 4 as 2 + 2

80 = 2^2 \times ( [2 + 2] \times [3 + 2] )

Hence, the above expression has a numerical value of 80

Fynjy0 [20]

If the train travels 744 miles in 3 hours then to determine the unit rate the train is traveling per hour you have to divide the miles by the hours, in this case (744 miles)/(3 hours). The final result concludes as 248 miles per hour.
