Answer:

970,200

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 100 man race, how many runners have the chance to finish first?

Answer 100.

Now that 1 person is first, how many runners could be second? Well, there are still 99 runners left, and any one of them could be second.

Answer 99.

How many can be third? Using the same idea as above, once one person is first and another is second, that leaves 98 people still running and trying for third. So how many can be in third?

Answer 98.

Now you need to do the math.

100 × 99 × 98 = 970,200

So there are 970,200 different ways.

Hope this helps!! Brainliest :) ?

CORRECT AND CLEAR ANSWER WILL BE GIVEN BRAINLIEST An object of mass 0.30 kg is thrown vertically upwards and reaches a height of

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Final potential energy = 24 Joule

The velocity with which object must be thrown = $4 \sqrt{10}$ m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of object, m = 0.30 Kg

Height of object, h = 8 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 $ms^{-2}$

a) Formula for Potential Energy:

$E_p =mgh$

Where m is the mass of object

g is acceleration due to gravity and

h is the height of object

Putting the values of m, g and h

$E_p = 0.3 \times 10 \times 8\\\Rightarrow E_p =24 J$

b) Formula for initial and final velocity:

$v^{2} =u^{2} +2gh$

where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity with which the object is thrown

g is acceleration due to gravity and

h is the height obtained by object

here v = 0 at the height 8 m because it will come to rest at the point it attains the maximum height.

h = 8m

g = -10 $ms^{-2}$ (negative because the object's velocity is decreasing)

Putting the values to find 'u':

$0^{2} =u^{2} +2 \times -10 \times 8\\\Rightarrow u^{2} = 160\\\Rightarrow u = 4 \sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Kathleen worked for 4 hours and 45 minutes. How should she write that on her time card?

Yuri [45]

Answer:

4.75 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Kathleen worked for 4 hours and 45 minutes.

We will convert 45 minutes to hours by dividing 45 by 60 as one hour has 60 minutes.

$\frac{\text{45 minutes}}{\frac{60\text{ minutes}}{\text{hour}}}$

$\frac{\text{45 minutes}}{60}\times \frac{\text{ hour}}{\text {minutes}}$

$\frac{3}{4}\times \text{ hour}$

$0.75\text{ hour}$

Therefore, she should write 4.75 hours on her time card.
