When brett and will ride the​ carousel, brett always selects a horse on the outside​ row, whereas will prefers the row closest t

o the center. these rows are 19 ft 5 in. and 12 ft 3 in. from the​ center, respectively. the angular speed of the carousel is 2.2 revolutions per minute. what is the​ difference, in miles per​ hour, in the linear speeds of brett and​ will?

When the motion is traveling on a straight line, we say that it travels at a certain linear speed or velocity. But when it is in circular motion, the distance it travels is angular. So, this time, we say that it travels at a certain angular speed or velocity. The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity is:

V = rω
where
V is the linear velocity
r is the radius of the circle
ω is the angular velocity

The final answer should be in miles per hour. To be consistent, let's transform all distances to miles and time to hour.

Brett's distance:
19 ft + 12 in = 19 ft + 12 in (1 ft/12 in) = 20 ft
1 foot is equal to 0.000189394 mile
20 ft * 0.000189394 = 0.00378788 miles

Will's distance:
12 ft + 3 in = 12 ft + 3(1ft/12in) = 12.25 ft
12.25 ft * 0.000189394 = 0.00232 miles

Next, we convert ω from revolution per minute to radians per minute. One revolution is equal to 2π radians, and 60 minutes is equal to 1 hour:

ω = 2.2 rev/min * (2π rad/1 rev) * (60 min/1 hr)
ω = 264π rad/hour

Now, we can determine the linear velocities of Brett and Will:

Brett's linear velocity = (0.00378788 miles)(264π rad/hour)
Brett's linear velocity = 3.142 miles/h

Will's linear velocity = (0.00232 miles)(264π rad/hour)
Will's linear velocity = 1.924 miles/h

Ashley opened a lemonade stand on her street. It costs her $12.50 to buy the supplies each day, and she sells lemonade for $2.50
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract sales - expenses

200 - 12.5 = 187.5

2.5x = 187.5

Divide by 2.5 on both sides

187.5/2.5

x = 75

Triangle A B C is cut by line segment S T. Line segment S T goes from side A B to side C B. Lines S T and A C are parallel. The
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: In triangle ABC, ST║AC, SB=10 ft, BT=9 ft and CT=2.7 ft.

Triangle proportionality theorem: If a line segment parallel to a side of a triangle then the line segments divides the remaining sides proportionally.

Using triangle proportionality theorem we get

\dfrac{SA}{SB}=\dfrac{CT}{BT}

\dfrac{SA}{10}=\dfrac{2.7}{9}

On cross multiplication we get

9\times SA=2.7\times 10

9SA=27

Divide both sides by 9.

SA=3

The length of SA is 3ft.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
