In order to find the simple interest rate we will follow the formula:

                                                I = Prt  or r = I/Pt

( the / represents division for this formula). You can use either formula to find the answer. I'll do both for you to see and determine for the future which is most easy for you.

Let's define what the letters of the formula mean (both formulas have the same meaning for the letters).--in parenthesis I will put the numbers that we'll use for each letter, also.

r = the interest rate that we need to find (this is what we will solve for)

I = how much interest that was made through the time frame. ($195)

P = the Principal amount. ($500)

t = the amount of time of accruement. (3)

Let's begin plugging in our numbers into the first formula I = Prt.

195 = (500) (r) (3)

Multiply your numbers behind the equal sign.

500 x 3 = 1500

We're left with

195 = 1500r

Now we'll divide:

195 ÷ 1500= 0.13

This will be our interest but we have to turn it into a percentage. To turn the decimal into a percentage we'll move our decimal two places to the right. That leaves us with 13.0

Therefore, the simple interest is 13%.

====================================================

The second formula solving: r = I/Pt

Plug your numbers into your formula just like before.

r = 195 / 500(3)

Multiply 500 x 3 = 1500

195/1500 = .013

We'll turn it into a percentage which again, will give us 13% simple interest.

A ball is rolled at a velocity of 12m/sec.after 36 seconds,it comes to a stop what is the acceleration of the ball?
miv72 [106K]

acceleration of ball is \frac{-1}{3}\,\,m/sec^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Velocity = 12m/sec

time = 36 s

Final Velocity 0 m/sec (ball comes to stop)

Acceleration= ?

The formula used to find acceleration is:

Acceleration=\frac{Final\,\,Velocity-Initial\,\,Velocity}{Time}

Putting values and finding acceleration:

Acceleration=\frac{Final\,\,Velocity-Initial\,\,Velocity}{Time}

Acceleration=\frac{0-12}{36}

Acceleration=\frac{-12}{36}

Acceleration=\frac{-1}{3}\,\,m/sec^2

So, acceleration of ball is \frac{-1}{3}\,\,m/sec^2

A segment with endpoint M Left parenthesis 5 comma 9 right parenthesis and N Left parenthesis 4 comma 3 right parenthesis is rot
mario62 [17]
Refer to the diagram below

If we draw a line that connects the center of rotation to one of the points, say point N, and take this line as the 0° position, then we need three 'turn' of 90° to get to 270°.

Coordinate of N' (-3, 4)
Coordinate of M' (-9, 5)

Find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the indicated axis. y = x3/4, x = 0
vovangra [49]

Answer:

7.92 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume formed is V = ∫πx²dy

Now, since y = x³/4, x = ∛(4y). Also if x = 0, y = 0³/4 = 0 and the curve intersects the line y = 1. So the limits of integration are y = 0 to y = 1

So, V = ∫₀¹πx²dy

= ∫₀¹π[ ∛(4y)]²dy

= π(∛4)²∫₀¹[ ∛(y]²dy

= π(∛4)²∫₀¹y^³/₂dy

= π(∛4)²[y^⁵/₂]₀¹

= π(∛4)²[1^⁵/₂ - 0^⁵/₂]

= π(∛4)²[1 - 0]

= π(∛4)²

= 7.92 cubic units
