Answer:

h = -t+20

After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points (time, inches)

 (3,17)  and (5,15)

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (15-17)/(5-3)

   = -2/2

   = -1

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Replace y with h and x with t

h-17 = -1 (t-3)

Distribute

h-17 = -t+3

Add 17 to each side

h-17+17 = -t+3+17

h = -t+20

After 8 hours

h = -t+20

h = -8+20

h= 12

On a given blueprint, 1 inch = 30 feet. If the dimensions of a meeting room on the blueprint are 1.5 inches x 1.25 inches, what
melamori03 [73]
Sounds simple to me but may be misleading, I can't see a trick.
I think all you do is multiply each by 30.

So answer is 45ft X 37.5ft

Hope it's correct. I'd appreciate if you could let me know. Thks..

69) Half-way to the center of a planet of uniform density, your weight compared to that at the surface would be :
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

One- half

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density is uniform  

Mass of the sphere = [(4/3) π r^3] d

where d is the uniform density.

Mass of the sphere = [(4/3) π d] r^3 = k r^3

where k = [(4/3) π d] is a constant  

Weight = mg = G m M / r^2 = G m [k r^3] /r^2 = G m k r

Using Gauss’ law for gravitation,

Half way to the center of a planet the weight is only due to the inner sphere and the outer sphere does not contribute to his weight,  

Inside his weight is mg’ = (G m k  r) /2   = mg/2  

Answer is one-half.
