Convert 120 kilometers per hour into miles per hour using dimensional analysis

Mathematics
1 answer:
musickatia [10]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

74.56 miles / h

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 1.609 km

Using the dimensional analysis you multiply the number you want to convert by 1 (using a fraction with the needed units)

Since 1 mile = 1.609 km then:

1= \frac{1 mile}{1.609 km}

Now to convert 120 kilometers per hour to miles per hour :

120 \frac{km}{h} * \frac{1 mile}{1.609 km} = \frac{120}{1.609}\frac{miles}{h} = 74.56 \frac{miles}{h}

Find the equation of an exponential function in the form y = ab^x, given the points (0, 3) and (2, 108/25). Please simplify your
lilavasa [31]

We have the equation:

y=a\cdot b^x

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.

The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:

\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}

Then, we can write the equation as:

y=3\cdot(\frac{6}{5})^x

Please help me

Answer:

1) The total displacement vector is ((16 + √2)/2, -(6+11·√2)/2)

2) The number of miles they'd have to walk is approximately 13.856 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The distance, direction, and location of the path of the walk the person takes,  are listed as follows;

Start location, (0, 0)

6 miles East walk to location, (6, 0)

6 miles Southeast to location, (6 + 3·√2, -3·√2)

3 miles South to location, (6 + 3·√2, -3·√2 - 3)

5 miles Southwest to location, (6 + 3·√2 - 2.5·√2, -3·√2 - 3 - 2.5·√2)

2 miles East to location, (6 + 3·√2 - 2.5·√2 + 2, -3·√2 - 3 - 2.5·√2)

(6 + 3·√2 - 2.5·√2 + 2, -3·√2 - 3 - 2.5·√2) = ((16 + √2)/2, -(6+11·√2)/2)

Therefore the destination coordinates is ((16 + √2)/2, -(6+11·√2)/2)

The total displacement vector, \underset{d}{\rightarrow} = ((16 + √2)/2, -(6+11·√2)/2)

d =  (16 + √2)/2)·i - (6+11·√2)/2)·j

2) If the person walked straight home, the number of miles they'd have to walk, \left |  \underset{d}{\rightarrow} \right |, is given as follows;

\left |  \underset{d}{\rightarrow} \right | = \sqrt{\left(\dfrac{16 +\sqrt{2}  }{2} \right)^2 + \left(-\dfrac{6 + 11 \cdot \sqrt{2}  }{2} \right)^2 } = \sqrt{134 + 41 \cdot \sqrt{2} }

Therefore;

If the person walked straight home, the number of miles they'd have to walk \left |  \underset{d}{\rightarrow} \right | \approx 13.856 \ miles

joe scored less than four times the amount of baskets peter scored. How many did they each score if l together they scored 32 ba
slava [35]

Let us assume the amount of baskets Joe scored = x baskets.

4 times of x is 4x.

4x+x = 5x.

Therefore, Peter scored = 5x.

Together they scored = 32 baskets.

Sum of Peter score and Joe score = 32.

x+5x = 32.

6x = 32.

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

x = 32/6

= 16/3.

x= 16/3.

<h3>Joe scored = 16/3 baskets.</h3><h3>Peter scored = 5 × 16/3 = 80/3 baskets.</h3>
