ans= 4

assume that the length of ladder is x

assume length of wall to top of ladder is x-2

the bottom is 10

use pythagoras to find x (hypotenuse)

should get 4 by factorising and squaring towards the end

At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds there are 14 pound
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The amount of weight he has lost in 3 months is 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are to calculate the amount of weight he has lost in three months

1 stone = 14 pounds

Let's convert all the weight lost to stone

At the start of the diet keirin weighted 14 stone 13 pounds

14 pounds = 1 stone

13 pounds = x

Cross Multiply

14x = 13

x = 13/14

x = 0.9285714286 stone

Approximately = 0.929 stone

Hence:

14 stone 13 pounds = 14 + 0.929 = 14.929 stone

Three months later he weighted 13 stone 10 pounds

14 pounds = 1 stone

10pounds = x

Cross Multiply

14x = 10

x = 10/14

x = 0.7142857143 stone

Approximately = 0.714 stone

Hence:

13 stone 10 pounds = 13 + 0.714 = 13.714 stone

The amount of weight he has lost is calculated as:

14.929 stone - 13.714 stone = 1.215 stone or 1 stone 3 pounds

Assuming the conditions regarding the motion represented in the graph remain the same, determine the acceleration of the object
vovikov84 [41]

(a)

We can see that

this is a straight line

and this is the graph of velocity

we know that

acceleration is the derivative of velocity

so, slope of curve of velocity is acceleration

so, we will find slope of this line

We can select any two points

(0,4) and (5,7)

we can use slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug points

m=\frac{7-4}{5-0}

m=0.6

we know that slope of line is always constant irrespective of any value of t

so, acceleration will always be same irrespective of any value of t

so, we will get acceleration

a(t)=0.6m/s^2............Answer

(b)

we can see that acceleration is constant

and we know that

derivative of constant is always 0

so, instantaneous rate of acceleration at t=10s is 0........Answer
