Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy m_b=70.9\ kg

mass of girl m_g=43.2\ kg

speed of girl after push v_g=4.64\ m/s

Suppose speed of boy after push is v_b

initially momentum of system is zero so final momentum is also zero because momentum is conserved

P_i=P=f

0=m_b\cdot v_b+m_g\cdot v_g

v_b=-\frac{m_g}{m_b}\times v_g

v_b=-\frac{43.2}{70.9}\times 4.64  

v_b=-2.82\ m/s

i.e. velocity of boy is 2.82 m/s towards west

What is the circle of least confusion?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus  while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot

Four examples of compounds which are classed as carbohydrate​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are divided into four types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides consist of a simple sugar; that is, they have the chemical formula C 6 H 12 O 6. Disaccharides are two simple sugars. Oligosaccharides are three to six monosaccharide units, and polysaccharides are more than six.

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches
