Sally and Ramona were competing in a four-lap, one-mile foot race. Sally’s style was to run at a constant rate of 12 mph. Ramona

decided to run her first three laps at 11 mph, and save a ‘kick’ in order to run a 16 mph pace for the fourth and final lap. Who wins the race, and by how many minutes or seconds?

Sally wins the race by 0.03 min

Explanation:

To find time = distance / velocity

Sally;

1 mile / 12 mph

= ¹/12 hrs * 60

= 5 min

Ramona;

³/4 mile ÷ 11 mph  +  ¹/4 mile ÷ 16 mph

= ³/44 hrs + ¹/64 hrs

= 4.09 min + 0.94 min

= 5.03 min

On a spinning ride at the fair, it is inertia that keeps you moving in a circle. true or false​
lions [1.4K]

False, the inertia does not keep us moving in a circle on a spinning ride at the fair.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Inertia is the resisting force of any object which resists in change in their state. If an object is moving the inertia will act in opposing direction to the force acting on the object stopping its motion.

Similarly, if an object resembles at rest, then the inertia will be acting against the force tending to move that stationary object. So, on a spinning ride at fair, when a person sits there, the inertia acting on the person will prevent the person to falling down from the fair and not in moving in a circle.

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

Answer:

real, inverted, and smaller than the object

Explanation:

When the object is placed beyond the center of curvature, the image will formed between the focus and the center of curvature. The size of the image is diminished and its nature is real and inverted.

The whole description is shown in the attached figure. It is clear that the size of the image is smaller than the object.
