Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

After 11 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 27.9 centimeters. After 30 hours of burning, its height is 26 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 20 hours?

Answer:

y = 27 cm

Explanation:

given,

After 11 hours of burning height of candle is 27.9 cm

After 30 hours of burning height of candle is 26 cm

height after 20 hour = ?

the candle height decreases linearly

using linear equation

y = m x+ c

27.9 = m (11 ) + C.......(1)

26 = m (30) + C..............(2)

on solving equation (1) and (2)

1.9 = -19 m

m = -0.1

from equation 2

26 = -3 + C

C = 29

y = m x + 29

at 20 hour

y = -0.1× 20 + 29

y = 27

height of candle after 20 hours is 27 cm.

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?
Rama09 [41]
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
K_f = 0 J
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.
