A mixed cost contains a variable element and a fixed element.
Option a
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mixed costs are those costs that has both variable and fixed component. Example: operating cost of a machinery includes fixed costs that cannot be changed with other variable costs like fuel, insurance, depreciation, etc.
It is also named as semi-variable costs. And the formula to calculate mixed cost is as follows,

where,
- y is the "total cost
"
- a is the "fixed cost per period"
- b is the "variable rate per unit of activity"
- x is the "number of units of activity"
Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).
Explanation:
Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.
Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =
Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg
Change in temperature =
Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K



The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).
Answer:
x=2.4t+4.9t^2
Explanation:
This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:
X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2
We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.
X=0+Vt+1/2at^2
Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.
X=Vt+4.9t^2
Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.
Now, substitute in your velocity value.
X=2.4t+4.9t^2
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)
Direction = upwards
Explanation:
When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m
then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as



Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m
so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as



Part a)
Average acceleration is given as



Part B)
As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards
So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards
