You and your friend are having a race, but since you are faster than him, you decide to give him a head start. He starts 10m in

front of the starting line while you start on the starting line. You run at 6 meters/second, while your friend runs at 5.5 meters/second. After how many seconds will you and your friend be same distance from the starting line? seconds months

Answer:

20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Your friend starts 10 meters in front of the starting line.

You start from the starting line.

You run at 6 meters/ second.

Your friend runs at 5.5 meters/second.

You and your friend will be at the same distance from the starting line only when you are able to catch your friend.

The relative speed between you two is the difference in your speed and your friend's speed that is:

$6-5.5=0.5m/s$

So to cover 10 meters of separation at the speed of 0.5 meter/second it will take:

$t=\frac{10}{0.5}= \frac{100}{5}=20s$

So it will take 20 seconds for you and your friend to be at the same distance from the starting line.

Change each of the following points from rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates and to cylindrical coordinates.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Spherical coordinate describes a location of a point in space: one distance (ρ) and two angles (Ф,θ).To transform cartesian coordinates into spherical coordinates:

$\rho = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$

$\phi = cos^{-1}\frac{z}{\rho}$

For angle θ:

If x > 0 and y > 0: $\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;

If x < 0: $\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;
If x > 0 and y < 0: $\theta = 2\pi + tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

$\rho = \sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$ = 6

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-4}{6})$

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-2}{3})$

For θ, choose 1st option:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{2}{4})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

b) (0,8,15)

$\rho = \sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}+(15)^{2}}$ = 17

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

The angle θ gives a tangent that doesn't exist. Analysing table of sine, cosine and tangent: θ = $\frac{\pi}{2}$

c) (√2,1,1)

$\rho = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}$ = 2

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

$\phi$ = $\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

$\rho = \sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}+3^{2}}$ = 5

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})$

Since x < 0, use 2nd option:

$\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

$\theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6}$

$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$

Cilindrical coordinate describes a 3 dimension space: 2 distances (r and z) and 1 angle (θ). To express cartesian coordinates into cilindrical:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

Angle θ is the same as spherical coordinate;

z = z

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

$r=\sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{20}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

z = -4

b) (0, 8, 15)

$r=\sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}}$ = 8

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$

z = 15

c) (√2,1,1)

$r=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{3}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$

z = 1

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

$r=\sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$ = 4

$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$

z = 3

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ When values with exponents are divided, you should subtract the exponents.

7 - 6 = 1

Your answer should be b^1, which can also be written as just 'b'

If you split a right angle with a ray going through the middle of the right angle, the two angles formed will be ______. Select

Tom [10]

Answer:

Complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

To be complementary, your two angles need to add up to 90 degrees

a right triangle is already 90 degrees so if you cut it through the middle they'd form complementary angles

The ratio of green food coloring to blue food coloring is 1:2. we used 6 drops of blue. how many total drops of food coloring di

ehidna [41]

If the ratio of green to blue food coloring is 1:2 and 6 drops of blue was used, meaning that you basically multiplied 2 by 3 in order to get 6. Then the number of green drops would be 3 (1*3=3). 6+3=9
The total amount of drops of food coloring is then 9.

Hope this helps! (:
