When a constant force is applied to an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain con

stant force acts upon an object
with mass 4 kg, the acceleration of the object is 5 m/s. When the same force acts upon another object, its acceleration is 2 m/s.. What is the mass of this
object?

Answer: The mass of the object is 10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force F applied to an object with mass m is directly proportional to its acceleration a:

F=ma (1)

If we isolate a:

a=\frac{F}{m} (2) This means the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass

Now, we are given the following data to calculate a constant force using (1):

m_{1}=4 kg

a_{1}=5 m/s^{2}

F=m_{1}a_{1} (3)

F=(4 kg)(5 m/s^{2) (4)

F=20 N (5)

If we apply this same force calulated in (4) in another object with an acceleration of a_{2}=2 m/s^{2}, its mass m_{2} will be:

F=m_{2}a_{2} (6)

20 N=m_{2}2 m/s^{2} (7)

Finding  m_{2}:

m_{2}=10 kg This is the mass of the object

What is the slope-intercept form of (-2,1) and (4,6)
mash [69]

Answer:

y = \frac{5}{6} x + \frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 6)

m = \frac{6-1}{4+2} = \frac{5}{6} , thus

y = \frac{5}{6} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 6 ), then

6 = \frac{20}{6} + c ⇒ c = 6 - \frac{20}{6} = \frac{16}{6} = \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{5}{6} x + \frac{8}{3} ← equation of line

What is the equation of the graph below?
IgorC [24]
ANSWER

f(x) = (x  +  3)^{2}  - 1



EXPLANATION

The vertex of the graph is at


(-3,-1)


The equation of the graph in vertex form is given by the formula,



f(x) =  a{(x - h)}^{2}  + k


The above graph has a minimum point, hence
a >  \: 0

When we put these values into the equation we obtain,

f(x) = a(x -  - 3)^{2}   +  - 1


This implies that,

f(x) = a(x  +  3)^{2} - 1

The point (-2,0) lies on the line.


a( - 2 + 3)^{2}    - 1 = 0

a = 1


f(x) = (x  + 3)^{2}  - 1

The correct answer is D.

A simple random sample of 50 items from a population with 7 resulted in a sample mean of 35.
Vilka [71]

The 90% , 99% confidence interval for the population mean is 32.145 < \rm \mu < 35.855 and 31.093 <  \rm \mu < 36.907

<h3>What is Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the study of likeliness of an event to happen.

It is given that

Total Population = 50

Mean = 35

The confidence interval is given by

\rm CI = \mu + z \dfrac{s}{\sqrt n}

\rm \mu is the mean

z is the confidence level value

s is the standard deviation

n is the population width

(a) The 90% confidence interval for the population mean

90% \rm \alpha / 2  = 0.05

Z = 1.64

34 \rm \pm 1.64 * 8 / √50

34 \rm \pm  1.855

32.145 < \rm \mu < 35.855

(b)  The 99% confidence interval for the population mean

99% \rm \alpha / 2  = 0.005

Z=2.57

34  \rm \pm 2.57 * 8 / √50

34 \rm \pm  2.907

31.093 <  \rm \mu < 36.907

Therefore the confidence interval for population mean has been determined.

The complete question is

A simple random sample of 50 items from a population width =7  resulted in a sample mean of 35. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

a. Provide a 90% confidence interval for the population mean

b. Provide a 99% confidence interval for the population mean
