how large is the acceleration of a 60 kg runner if the friction between her shoes and the pavement is 500 n?

Mathematics

The force of friction is given in the scenario:

Force = 500 Newton

and the mass of the runner  is 60 kg

To find the acceleration we need to use the relation between force, mass, and the acceleration of the object:

F=m\times a

Where 'F' represents the force, 'm' represents the mass, and 'a' represents the acceleration.

Plugging the value of variables we get:

500=60\times a

Solving for 'a' (acceleration) we get:

a= \frac{500}{60} =8.33 Newton/kilogram or meters/ second squared

So the acceleration of the runner is 8.33 meters/ second squared.

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 7 centimeters. If the area is 400 square centimeters, find the length of the base a
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Base = 32 cm

Height = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle can be calculated as:

Area = \frac{1}{2}\times Base \times Height

We are given that the base of triangle exceeds the height by 7 cm. This can be expressed in an equation form as:

Base = Height + 7

Lets use B to represent base and H to represent height

B = H + 7

The equation of area can be stated as:

Area=\frac{1}{2}bh\\\\ Area=\frac{1}{2}(h+7)(h)\\\\ 400=\frac{1}{2}h(h+7)\\\\ 800=h^{2}+7h\\\\ h^{2}+7h-800=0

This is a quadratic equation which can be solved using a quadratic equation as shown below:

h=\frac{-7+-\sqrt{49-4(1)(-800)} }{2(1)} \\\\ h=\frac{-7+-57}{2}\\\\h=-32,25

Since the height cannot be negative, we'll consider the positive value only i.e height is equal to 25 cm.

Therefore, the length of base will be 25 + 7 = 32 cm.

There is 75 gallons of water into the pool every hour if the pool can hold 6,750 gallons how long will it take to fill the pool?
Andreyy89

Answer:

90 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which water enters the pool is

 75 gallons

-------------------

       1 hour

This is equivalent to

         1 hour per 75 gallons, leading to:

        1 hour

  -------------------- * 6,750 gallons   =   90 hours

      75 gallons

at the start of the shift your part counter reads 250 at the end of the shift the part counter reads 1075 how many parts did you
Luden [163]
This can be mathematically expressed to
 250 + X  = 1075
where X represents the parts you produce before the shift ends
Transpose 250 to the other side by subtracting each side by 250
Thus, it goes like this
X = 1075 - 250
X = 825

You produced 825 parts in the middle of the shift.
