When two sticks are laid end-to-end they cover a length of 8.32 feet. One stick is 2.93 ft longer than the other. What is the le

ngth of the shorter stick in feet?

To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

x+2.93

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

x +(x+2.97) = 8.32

Now solving for x we have,

x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32

2x + 2.93 = 8.32

2x = 8.32 - 2.93

x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}

x = 2.695 ft

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.

What is the difference between the experimental group and the control group? its like confusing
Doss [256]
An experimental group is the group in the experiment that receives the variable that is being tested. Only one variable is tested at a time. The control group does not receive the test variable. the experimental groups are used to find the answers in a experiment

Positional and non positional different between​
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Explanation:

In positional number system,

1. each symbol represents different value depending on the position they occupy in a number.

2. In positional number system, each system has a value that relates to the number directly next to it. The total value of a positional number is the total of the resultant value of all positions.

3. Example: 12 can be 1 x 10 + 2 x 1, 10 + 2= 12

whereas in Non-Positional number

1. In non-positional number system, each symbol represents the same value regardless of its position

2. In non-positional number system each symbol represents a number with its own place value.

3. Example: Roman number system where I for 1, II for 2 etc.

A playground merry-go-round of radius r = 1 m has a moment of inertia of i = 240 kg*m^2. and is rotating at a rate of ω = 8 rev/
Ghella [55]
When the child jumps onto the merry-go-around the moment of inertia of the system changes. If we consider the child to be point-like mass then its moment of inertia would be:
I_{ch}=mr^2
We get the new moment of inertia by simply adding the child's moment of inertia to the old moment of inertia.
I_{new}=I_{old}+I_{ch}=240+35(1)^2=275 $kgm^2
Since there is no force mention we must assume that angular momentum is conserved.
L=const.\\ L=I_{old}\omega_0=I_{new}\omega'\\ \omega'=\frac{I_{old}\omega_0}{I_{new}}
When we plug in all the numbers we get:
\omega'=\frac{240\cdot8}{275}=6.98 \ \frac{rev}{min}

What is the Octet rule
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

the octate rule says that electron after completing all the valency of the element doesnot goes as 9 but continues next round after completing the next octat then the first shell completes the all electron valency .thanks if you dont understand then please comment l will try to solve your confusion

Olivia is on a swing at the playground.
balu736 [363]

Olivia is on a swing at the playground. The kinetic energy is increasing and her potential energy decreasing at point X.

<h3>What is kinetic energy and potential energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is the ability to do work by virtue of its motion and potential energy is the ability to do work by virtue of its position.

At point W and Z, Olivia is at the maximum displacement from the mean position, where kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is maximum.

At point Y, it is approaching to increase its potential energy and decreasing kinetic energy. Opposite to this, at point X, kinetic energy is increasing and potential energy is decreasing.

Thus, the kinetic energy is increasing and her potential energy decreasing at point X.
