George needs to rent a car for one day. He can rent a Cadillac from Gamma Car Rental for $30.39 per day plus 55 cents per mile.

He can get the same car from Delta Car Rental for $50.31 per day plus 43 cents per mile. What number of miles results in the price for Gamma being equal to the price for Delta? Write your answer as a number only

Call the number of days 'd' and the number of miles 'm'.
(Original, eh ?)

Then the equation for Gamma's price is

                           Price-G = 30.39d + 0.55m

and the equation for Delta's price is

                            Price-D = 50.31d + 0.43m .

We're going to set the prices equal, and find out
what the number of miles is:

                       Price-G = Price-D.

        30.39d + 0.55m  = 50.31d + 0.43m .

Before we go any farther, I'm going to assume that both cases would be
one-day rentals.  My reasons:  ==> the solution for the number of miles
depends on how many days each car was rented for;  ==> even if both
cars are rented for the same number of days, the solution for the number
of miles depends on what that number of days is.

For 1-day rentals, d=1, and

                                        30.39 + 0.55m  =  50.31 + 0.43m .
Beautiful.  Here we go.
Subtract 0.43m
from each side:              30.39 + 0.12m  =  50.31

Subtract 30.39
from each side:                            0.12m  =  19.92

Divide each side by 0.12 :                  m  =  166 .

There it is !  If a car is rented from Gamma for a day, and another car
is rented from Delta for a day, and both cars are driven 166 miles, then
the rental prices for both cars will be the same ... (namely $121.69)

3. A rocket is launched from a height of 3 meters with an initial velocity of 15 meters per second.
Vikki [24]

Let the rocket is launched at an angle of \theta with respect to the positive direction of the x-axis with an initial velocity u=15m/s.

Let the initial position of the rocked is at the origin of the cartesian coordinate system where the illustrative path of the rochet has been shown in the figure.

As per assumed sine convention, the physical quantities like displacement, velocity, acceleration, have been taken positively in the positive direction of the x and y-axis.

Let the point P(x,y) be the position of the rocket at any time instant t as shown.

Gravitational force is acting downward, so it will not change the horizontal component of the initial velocity, i.e. U_x=U cos\theta is constant.

So, after time, t, the horizontal component of the position of the rocket is

x= U \cos\theta t \;\cdots(i)

The vertical component of the velocity will vary as per the equation of laws of motion,

s=ut+\frac12at^2\;\cdots(ii), where,s, u and a are the displacement, initial velocity, and acceleration of the object in the same direction.

(a) At instant position P(x,y):

The vertical component of the initial velocity is, U_y=U sin\theta.

Vertical displacement =y

So, s=y

Acceleration due to gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2 in the downward direction.

So, a=-g=-9.81 m/s^2 (as per sigh convention)

Now, from equation (ii),

y=U sin\theta t +\frac 12 (-9.81)t^2

\Rightarrow y=U \sin\theta \times \frac {x}{U \cos\theta} +\frac 12 (-g)\times \left(\frac {x}{U \cos\theta} \right)^2

\Rightarrow y=U^2 \tan\theta-\frac 1 2g U^2 \sec^2 \theta\;\cdots(iii)

This is the required, quadratic equation, where U=15 m/s and g=9.81 m/s^2.

(b) At the highest point the vertical velocity,v, of the rocket becomes zero.

From the law of motion, v=u+at

\Rightarroe 0=U\sin\theta-gt

\Rightarroe t=\frac{U\sin\theta}{g}\cdots(iv)

The rocket will reach the maximum height at t= 1.53 \sin\theta s

So, from equations (ii) and (iv), the maximum height, y_m is

y_m=U\sin\theta\times \frac{U\sin\theta}{g}-\frac 12 g \left(\frac{U\sin\theta}{g}\right)^2

\Rightarrow y_m=23 \sin\theta -11.5 \sin^2\theta

In the case of vertical launch, \theta=90^{\circ}, and

\Rightarrow y_m=11.5 m and t=1.53 s.

Height from the ground= 11.5+3=14.5 m.

(c) Height of rocket after t=4 s:

y=15 \sin\theta \times 4- \frac 12 (9.81)\times 4^2

\Rightarrow y=15 \sin\theta-78.48

\Rightarrow -63.48 m >y> 78.48

This is the mathematical position of the graph shown which is below ground but there is the ground at y=-3m, so the rocket will be at the ground at t=4 s.

(d) The position of the ground is, y=-3m.

-3=U\sin\theta t-\frac 1 2 g t^2

\Rightarrow 4.9 t^2-15 \sin\theta t-3=0

Solving this for a vertical launch.

t=3.25 s and t=-0.19 s (neglecting the negative time)

So, the time to reach the ground is 3.25 s.

(e) Height from the ground is 13m, so, y=13-3=10 m

10=U\sin\theta t-\frac 1 2 g t^2

Assume vertical launch,

4.9 t^2-15 \sin\theta t+10=0 [using equation (ii)]

\Rightarrow t=2.08 s and t=0.98 s

There are two times, one is when the rocket going upward and the other is when coming downward.

Answer: 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Each sector has an equal area, so each sector has an equal chance of being landed on. There are two shaded sectors and 5 total, so there is a 2 out of 5 chance that the spinner will land on a shaded one.

Hey, if you can help me with this then please. I really need this done. :)
Inga [223]

Answer:

97 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 lb.=16oz

3+2 lbs = 5 lb's which equals to 80 oz.

then add the extra ounces 7+10 = 17

80 + 17 = 97 oz.
