Answer:

Length = 19 feet

Width = 14 feet

Explanation:

The perimeter, P, of a rectangle is given by

$P=2(l+w)$

where l is the length and w is the width.

From the question, the length is 9 feet less than twice the width.

$l=2w-9$

Substitute this in the equation for the perimeter.

$P=2(2w-9+w)$

$P=2(3w-9)$

$66=2(3w-9)$

$33=3(w-3)$

$11=w-3$

$w=14$

Substitute for this in the equation for l.

$l=2w-9=2\times14-9=28-9=19$

Hence, the length is 19 feet and the width is 14 feet.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out= 3.14 inch³/sec

Two identical light springs with spring constant k3 are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling and attached at each e

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Keq = 2k₃

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second one

F = m a

Where F is the eleatic force of the spring F = - k x

Since we have two springs, they are parallel or they are stretched the same distance by the object and the response force Fe is the same for the spring age due to having the same displacement

F + F = m a

k₃ x + k₃ x = m a

a = 2k₃ x / m

To find the effective force constant, suppose we change this spring to what creates the cuddly displacement

Keq = 2k₃

At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

$\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the star is $4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m$ .

Bernice draws an oxygen atom. She draws a small circle for the nucleus. Inside of the circle, she draws plus signs for protons a

Lelu [443]

Answer

It should be A and C

Explanation:

because oxygen is number 8 in the periodic table of elements and has a atomic weight of 15.999 you use those numbers to figure out what is true between those.

The 8 for oxygen goes for the number of electrons and proton and to find neutrons u round the 15.999 up which now make it 16 and subtract it by the 8 now you have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons
