Hi there 

So, if the track is 1/8 of a mile, let's call every lap a "one-eighth mile" run. We know John ran 24 laps, or that he ran 24 "one-eighth miles," just consecutive, one right after another. Let's stop worrying about rates or tricks or math for a second, and just ask: how many real miles is 24 "one-eighth" miles? We know it's less than 24---a lot less, since you have to go around 8 times just to get to 1 mile. Well wait, if we go around 8 times, we get 1 mile. That means if we go around 28, or 16 times, we get 2 miles; And let's just think to the next full mile---if we go 38, or 24 times, we get 3 miles. He did go around 24 times, so he must have run 3 miles on a 1/8 track.

Division and multiplication are inverses of each other. So we solved this by looking for an intuition for how many full miles corresponded to how many laps, with a bunch of steps of multiplication. But you can cut right to the chase and solve it faster with division---24 laps * 1 mile per 8 laps, means:

total distance = 24 Lap (1 mi / 8 Lap) total distance = 24/8 total distance = 3

I really need help with 15 and 16 please
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

  15. 50 kg

  16a. 5 kg

  16b. 3.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula relating force, mass, and acceleration can be solved for mass. This formula will apply to both problems. We'll use m for both "mass" and "meters". We presume you can avoid getting mixed up by understanding that meters is used in the context of acceleration: m/s².

  F = ma

  m = F/a . . . . . divide by a

__

15. m = (250 N)/(5 m/s²) = 50 kg

__

16a. m = (15 N)/(3 m/s²) = 5 kg

16b. m = (15 N)/(4 m/s²) = 3.75 kg

_____

<em>Comment on units</em>

Especially for physics problems, I like to keep the units with the numbers. It is helpful to remember that Newtons are equivalent to kg·m/s². So, dividing Newtons by acceleration in m/s² will give mass in kg. Since you're familiar with F=ma, it's not too hard to remember that the units of force (N) are the product of the units of mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s²).

Which property is best to use when determining the strength of an ionic bond in a solid?
Shtirlitz [24]
I think the best property to use is electronegativity since that is how much it attracts/wants electrons.  The larger the difference in electronegativity is between two atoms, the stronger the ionic bond will be.  This is also why two atoms need to have a minimum difference between the electronegativity to be considered ionic and not covalent.
