What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by the factor of 10 and the surface area is 16in

1 answer:

3 0

If each linear dimension is scaled by a factor of 10, then the area is scaled by a factor of 100. This is because 10^2 = 10*10 = 100. Consider a 3x3 square with area of 9. If we scaled the square by a linear factor of 10 then it's now a 30x30 square with area 900. The ratio of those two areas is 900/9 = 100. This example shows how the area is 100 times larger.

Going back to the problem at hand, we have the initial surface area of 16 square inches. The box is scaled up so that each dimension is 10 times larger, so the new surface area is 100 times what it used to be

New surface area = 100*(old surface area)
new surface area = 100*16
new surface area = 1600

Final Answer: 1600 square inches

Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 2 kilograms and was lifted at a speed of 2m/sec. the other had a

OLga [1]

Sadly, after giving all the necessary data, you forgot to ask the question.
Here are some general considerations that jump out when we play with
that data:

<em>For the first object:</em>
The object's weight is (mass) x (gravity) = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6 newtons
The force needed to lift it at a steady speed is 19.6 newtons.
The potential energy it gains every time it rises 1 meter is 19.6 joules.
If it's rising at 2 meters per second, then it's gaining 39.2 joules of
potential energy per second.
The machine that's lifting it is providing 39.2 watts of lifting power.
The object's kinetic energy is 1/2 (mass) (speed)² = 1/2(2)(4) = 4 joules.

<em>For the second object:</em>
The object's weight is (mass) x (gravity) = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 newtons
The force needed to lift it at a steady speed is 39.2 newtons.
The potential energy it gains every time it rises 1 meter is 39.2 joules.
If it's rising at 3 meters per second, then it's gaining 117.6 joules of
potential energy per second.
The machine that's lifting it is providing 117.6 watts of lifting power.
The object's kinetic energy is 1/2 (mass) (speed)² = 1/2(4)(9) = 18 joules.

If you go back and find out what the question is, there's a good chance that
you might find the answer here, or something that can lead you to it.

I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

First, we define the variables:
x: number of years after 1950
f (x): amount of vinyl sold.
Then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 ---------> f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 ---------> f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 ---------> f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 ---------> f (17) = 161743

The values have being matched to the variables that they represent here:

x-variable: the number of hours Sam works at the airport
y variable: the amount in dollars that Sam has after paying back Daniel
12: amount in dollars that Sam earns per hour.
40: the amount in dollars Sam owes Daniel

<h3>How to solve for the equation.</h3>

The equation of this form y = 12x-40

The variable y has been said to be the amount sam has after Daniel has been paid.

X is the amount that has to be multiplied by what he earns in dollars by the hour.

40 dollars is the amount that he owes which is going to be subtracted from what he earns by the hour.
