Complete question:

The average of two number is 55. If 2 is subtracted from the greater number, the ratio between the numbers become 1:2 . The smaller number is

Answer:

The smaller number is 36

Explanation:

let the smaller number = x

let the greater number = y

\frac{x + y}{2} = 55\\\\

x + y = 110

y = 110 - x --------- equation (i)

\frac{x}{y-2} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\ y-2 = 2x\\\\y = 2x + 2 ------equation(ii)

Substitute y in equation (ii)

110 - x = 2x + 2

110 - 2 = 2x + x

108 = 3x

x = 108 / 3

x = 36

Therefore, the smaller number is 36

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: at the equator the normal force will be 3.4N less and at the North Pole = 980N

Explanation:

So, we will start the Calculation by considering the equation below;

Fnet = F(g) - F(N); where Fnet = mv^2/ r.

Hence, F(g) - F(N) = mv^2/ r -------------(1).

Making F(N) the subject of the formula, we have;

F(N) = Gm1m2/r^2 - mv^2/r.

Thus, we have;

Gm1m2/r^2 = 6.68 × 10^-11 × (5.98 × 20^24) × 100/ 6.38 × 10^6 = 980N.

Also, we have;

mv^2/r = m4π^2r/T^2.

100 × 6.38 ×10^6 × 4π^2/(24 × 3600)^2 = 3.4N

Therefore, at the equator the normal force will be 3.4N less and at the North Pole = 980N.

What best describes te change in salinity in an estuary at low tides as water leaves the area
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

During high tide when the level of seawater rises, more sea water is brought into the estuary. This makes the water very salty and thus increases the percentage of dissolved salt in the estuary. Therefore, at high tide, the salinity of an estuary increases significantly.
