Answer:

The number is 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Form an equation.

8x-5= 23

2) Add 5 to both sides.

8x= 28

3) Divide both sides by 8.

X= 3.5

A mass of 1 g is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 6in/sec, with no damping and a spring c
yan [13]

a) y(t)=0.0016 sin(94.9t) [m]

b) 0.033 s

c) -0.152 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The force acting on the mass-spring system is (restoring force)

F=-ky

where

k = 9 is the spring constant

y is the displacement

Also, from Newton's second law of motion, we know that

F=my''

where

m = 1 g = 0.001 kg is the mass

y'' is the acceleration

Combining the two equations,

my''=-ky

This is a second order differential equation; the solution for y(t) is

y(t)=A sin(\omega t-\phi)

where

A is the amplitude of motion

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{0.001}}=94.9 rad/s is the angular frequency

The spring starts its motion from its equilibrium position, this means that y=0 when t=0; therefore, the phase shift must be

\phi=0

So the displacement is

y(t)=A sin(\omega t)

The velocity of the spring is equal to the derivative of the displacement:

v(t)=y'(t)=\omega A cos(\omega t)

We know that at t = 0, the initial velocity is 6 in/s; since 1 in = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m,

v_0=6(0.0254)=0.152 m/s

And since at t = 0, cos(\omega t)=1

Then we have:

v_0=\omega A

From which we find the amplitude:

A=\frac{v_0}{\omega}=\frac{0.152}{94.9}=0.0016 m

So the solution for the displacement is

y(t)=0.0016 sin(94.9t) [m]

b)

Here we want to find the time t at which the mass returns to equilibrium, so the time t at which

y=0

This means that

sin(\omega t)=0

We know already that the first time at which this occurs is

t = 0

Which is the beginning of the motion.

The next occurence of y = 0 is instead when

\omega t = \pi

which means:

t=\frac{\pi}{\omega}=\frac{\pi}{94.9}=0.033 s

c)

As said in part a), the velocity of the mass-spring system at time t is given by the derivative of the displacement, so

v(t)=\omega A cos(\omega t)

where we have

\omega=94.9 rad/s is the angular frequency

A=0.0016 m is the amplitude of motion

t is the time

Here we want to find the velocity of the mass when the time is that calculated in part b):

t = 0.033 s

Substituting into the equation, we find:

v(0.033)=(94.9)(0.0016)cos(94.9\cdot 0.033)=-0.152 m/s

The isosceles triangles below are similar.
ohaa [14]

Answer: a) 2:1. b) 3. c) Perimeter of ΔEFG=36 Perimeter of ΔHIJ=18. d) 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find the ratio of GF and JI. 16:8. Simplify by dividing both by 8 to get 2:1.

b) Set up this equation: 6/16=x/8. Cross-multiply. 6*8=48. Divide by 16. 48/16=3.

c) First find the length of one half of GF by dividing 16 by 2. 16/2=8. Set up the Pythagorean theorem. 8^2+6^2=c^2. Square 8 and 6. 64+36=c^2. Add 64 and 36. 100=c^2. Find the square root of 100. c=10.

EF and EG both measure 10 since they are shown to be congruent. 10+10+16=36.

Next find the length of one half of JI by dividing 8 by 2. 8/2=4. Set up the Pythagorean theorem. Since we know x=3, it will be 4^2+3^2=c^2. Square both 4 and 3. 16+9=c^2. Add 16 and 9. 25=c^2. Find the square root of 25. c=5.

HJ and HI both measure 5 since they are congruent. 5+5+8=18.

d) Find the ratio of the perimeters of ΔEFG and ΔHIJ. 36:18. Simplify by dividing both by 6 to get 6:3. Simplify further by dividing both by 3 to get 2:1.

The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent.Find the single reduction the
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

40%  . The single reduction together is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bicycle cost is   x before reduced price.

First 25% is reduced  and again 20% further reduced.

Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.

Solution,

Case .1

reduction cost=x\times 25%%

=x\times 25/100

=x/4

The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is

=x-x/4=3x/4

cost of reduction further reduction of 20%      =3x/4\times 20%

=3x\times 20/(4\times 100)

=3x/20

The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is

=3x/4-3x/20

=\left ( 15x-3x \right )/20

=12x/20=3x/5

Case.2

if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal

x-x\times y%=3x/5

x\left ( 1-y/100 \right )=3x/5

\left ( 100-y \right )/100=3/5

100-y=60

y=40%

single reduction of a cycle is 40%

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. the area of the rectangle is 35 units
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Length=7units\\\\Width=5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=(Length-2) units

W=(L-2) units

Area of the rectangle= 35 square units

Area = length* Width

35= L*(L-2)\\\\35=L^2-2L

Subtracting 35 both sides:

L^2-2L-35=0

Solving the quadratic equation for 'L' ;

Using factorization:

L^2+5L-7L-35=0

Taking common from the equation :

L(L+5)-7(L+5)=0\\\\(L+5)(L-7)=0\\\\L+5=0\\\\L=-5

OR

L-7=0\\\\L=7

The length cannot be negative, therefore Length(L)= 7

Width=Length-2\\\\=7-2\\\\=5 units

Length=7units\\\\Width=5units
