Answer:

Salamander trail is longer than great oaks trail.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the data from two different maps of the same park.

In the first map the length of great oaks trail is 4.5 cm

The scale from the park to the map is 36 mi to 6 cm ⇒

We can find the real length of great oaks trail writing the following equivalence :

\frac{36mi}{6cm}=\frac{x}{4.5cm}

Where x is the real length of great oaks trail ⇒

x=\frac{(36mi).(4.5cm)}{6cm}=27mi

We find that the real length of great oaks trail is 27 mi

In the second map the length of salamander trail is 3.5 cm

The scale from the park in the second map is 24 mi to 3 cm.

Again we can find the real length of salamander trail writing the equivalence :

\frac{24mi}{3cm}=\frac{y}{3.5cm}

Where y is the real length of salamander trail ⇒

y=\frac{(24mi).(3.5cm)}{3cm}=28mi

We find that the real length of salamander trail is 28 mi.

Therefore salamander trail is longer than great oaks trail.

You want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. Using -10 m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity, what
MrRissso [65]

<u>Answer</u>

<em>The total displacement of the object is 320 m</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

From the formulas of mechanics,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where,

s = displacement

u = initial velocity = 0               ( ∵ As the body was in rest in the beginning )

t = time taken = 8 s

a = acceleration = -10 m/s²      ( ∵ -ve is because of the downward motion)

Putting all the values,

s= 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2}(-10)8^{2} = -320 \ m ( ∵ -ve displacement means it is in downwards)

If B is the midpoint of AC, solve for x, and find the lengths of AB, BC, and AC.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

49, 49 , 98

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC = 2AB

  • 3x - 31 = 2(x+6)
  • 3x - 31 = 2x + 12
  • 3x - 2x = 12 +31
  • x = 43

AB= BC = x + 6 = 43 + 6 = 49

AC = 2AB = 2* 49 = 98
