Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}  (1)

Where:

m=5.7 is the slope of the line

Y_{1}=2390.7pounds is the airplane weight with  51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

X_{1}=51gallons is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)

Rewritting (1):

Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (2)

As Y is a function of X:

Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (3)

Substituting the known values:

f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7  (4)

f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7  (5)

f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100  (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100  (7)

f_{(81)}=2561.7  (8)   This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

The distance and displacement of a object in motion can be the same (true or false)
Rasek [7]

Aswer:

False, the values ​​of the distance traveled and the displacement only coincide when the trayectorie is a straight line. Otherwise, the distance will always be greater than the offset.

Although these terms are used synonymously in other cases, they are totally different. Since the distance that a mobile travels is the equivalent of the length of its trajectory. Whereas, the displacement will be a vector magnitude.

During 57 seconds of use, 330 C of charge flow through a microwave oven. Compute the size of the electric current.
swat32

Answer:

5.78amps

Explanation:

Given data

Time t= 57 seconds

Charge Q= 330C

Current I= ??

The expression for the electric current is given as

Q= It

Substituting we have

330= I*57

I= 330/57

I=5.78 amps

Hence the current is 5.78amps

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates ya a rate of 7.0 m/s2 for 6.0 seconds. What is the final velocity of the motorcycle
frutty [35]

First write down all your known variables:

vi = 25m/s

a = 7.0m/s^2

t = 6.0s

vf = ?

Then choose the kinematic equation that relates all the variables and solve for the unknown variable:

vf = vi + at

vf = (25) + (7.0)(6.0)

vf = 67m/s

The final velocity of the motorcycle is 67m/s.
