The tortoise and the hare are having a race over a course of length 0.52 km. The tortoise crawls along at a constant 0.075 m/s w

hile the hare sprints along at a constant 16.7 m/s (when he is not sleeping). The race starts and the hare runs halfway to the finish line and decides to take a nap while the tortoise plods along. Waking from his nap, the hare sees that the tortoise has made so much progress that he might lose the race. He takes off and just catches up to the toroise at the finish line so that the race ends in a tie. Be careful with units.
How many hours did the hare sleep before waking up?

Answer:the hare slept for 1 hr 55minutes.

Explanation: distance is changed to meters = 520m

Speed=distance/time

Speed of tortoise is 0.075m/s=520m/t

Crops multiplying t= 520/0.075 = 6933.3 seconds.

Speed for hare 16.7m/s =260m/t

ie 260m is half of the distance.

t =15.56seconds

Therefore the time slept by the hare = 6933.3- 15.56= 6917.74 seconds.

Converting to hours = 1hr. 55minutes is the time the hare slept.

I don’t have a question because I posted a photoz

Part a:

Q_{1} = 56

Q_{2} = 60

Q_{3} = 63

     The quartiles are found by finding the medium of the data, and then the mediums of the two different data sets on either side of the medium. The Q_{2} is the overall medium, Q_{1} is the medium of the first half, and Q_{3} is the medium of the second half.

-> How is the medium found? When finding the medium we put the values in order least to greatest and pick the middle value.

[] See attached

Part b:

The range is 7.

The interquartile range is the range of numbers between Q_{1} and Q_{3}. In other words, it is 50% of the data, directly in the middle.

This becomes 63 - 56 = 7

Part c:

79 is an outlier.

It is an outlier because it is 1.5 above or below (in this case, above) the interquartile range.

-> 63 + (7 + \frac{7}{2}) ≤ 79

-> 63 + 10.5 ≤ 79

-> 73.5 ≤ 79

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

A 73.0 kg firefighter climbs a flight of stairs 9.0 m high. how much work is required? j
pshichka [43]
The strength of the fireman in vertical direction will be given by F = m * g. Then, the work done will be given by definition by W = F * d. Substituting the expression of the Force in that of the work, we have that the work will be W = m * g * d. Substituting the given values and assuming that g = 10m / s ^ 2, we have a total work of W = (73) * (10) * (9) = 6570 J
