Answer:

The stone would take approximately 10.107 seconds to fall 500 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement of the problem, the following relationship of direct proportionality is built:

t \propto y^{1/2}

t = k\cdot t^{1/2}

Where:

t - Time spent by the stone, measured in seconds.

y - Height change experimented by the stone, measured in meters.

k - Proportionality constant, measured in \frac{s}{m^{1/2}}.

First, the proportionality constant is determined by clearing the respective variable and replacing all known variables:

k = \frac{t}{y^{1/2}}

If t = 4\,s and y=78.4\,m, then:

k = \frac{4\,s}{(78.4\,m)^{1/2}}

k \approx 0.452\,\frac{s}{m^{1/2}}

Then, the expression is t = 0.452\cdot y^{1/2}. Finally, if y = 500\,m, then the time is:

t = 0.452\cdot (500\,m)^{1/2}

t \approx 10.107\,s

The stone would take approximately 10.107 seconds to fall 500 meters.

Answer= 7
Explanation: combine all like numbers
5-b+4-2=0
5-2+4=7
7-b=0
Then you can tell the answer is 7 because that is the only thing that can replace b and equal 0

Option C

The ratio for the volumes of two similar cylinders is 8 : 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let there are two cylinder of heights "h" and "H"

Also radius to be "r" and "R"

\text { Volume of a cylinder }=\pi r^{2} h

Where π = 3.14 , r is the radius and h is the height

Now the ratio of their heights and radii is 2:3 .i.e  

\frac{\mathrm{r}}{R}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{H}=\frac{2}{3}

<em><u>Ratio for the volumes of two cylinders</u></em>

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{\pi r^{2} h}{\pi R^{2} H}

Cancelling the common terms, we get

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{R}\right)^{2} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{H}}\right)

Substituting we get,

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2} \times\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{2 \times 2 \times 2}{3 \times 3 \times 3}

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{8}{27}

Hence, the ratio of volume of two cylinders is 8 : 27

Black_prince [1.1K]

c = circumference pi = 3.14 r = radius = 9 inches d = diameter c=pi*d The radius is half of the diameter, d = 2r. Then d = 2*9=18. plug into equation. c= pi*d = 3.14*18 round accordingly and you may want to include that the measurement you end up with is in inches.
