Answer:

180.2776 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two cars start from the same place.

One car is heading towards north and another east.

that means the two cars travel path make 90 degrees at the origin.

Imagine the triangle with one vertex at the starting place right angled at 90 and other two vertices are the locations of the two cars.

We find this triangle has legs of  150 miles and 100 miles respectively.

The distance between the two cars = length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle with legs 150 and 100 miles

= √(150^2)+100^2 (Using Pythagorean theorem)

= √32500

= 180.2776 miles

Suppose x represents an objects weight on Earth. Write two expressions: one that you can use to find the objects weight on Mars
tatyana61 [14]
The weight of an object is the product of its mass and the acceleration of gravity.
If g[e] is the acceleration of gravity on earth, and g[M] the same for Mars and g[m] the same for the moon,
then m[M]=m[e]g[M]/g[e] and m[m]=m[e]g[m]/g[e] where m[ ] denotes mass. Note that weight=mg (measured in newtons) while mass is in kilograms.
If g[M]=g[e]/3 and g[m]=g[e]/6 approximately. Then the weight of an object on Mars will be about a third of what it is on earth, while on the moon it would be about a sixth of what it is on earth.

2 point) what is the height of a d-heap that contains n elements? the height should be a function of n and
belka [17]
Assuming a d-heap means the order of the tree representing the heap is d.
Most of the computer applications use binary trees, so they are 2-heaps.

A heap is a complete tree where each level is filled (complete) except the last one (leaves) which may or may not be filled.

The height of the heap is the number of levels.  Hence the height of a binary tree is Ceiling(log_2(n)), for example, for 48 elements, log_2(48)=5.58.
Ceiling(5.58)=6.  Thus a binary tree of 6 levels contains from 2^5+1=33 to 2^6=64 elements, and 48 is one of the possibilities.  So the height of a binary-heap with 48 elements is 6.

Similarly, for a d-heap, the height is ceiling(log_d(n)).
