Answer:

(a) 25.08 m

(b) 2.05 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building be 'h'.

Given:

Angle of projection is, \theta=25°

Initial speed is, u=15\ m/s

Time of flight is, t=3.0\ s

(a)

Consider the vertical motion of the brick.

Vertical component of initial velocity is given as:

u_y=u\sin\theta\\\\u_y=15\sin(25)=6.34\ m/s

Vertical displacement of the brick is equal to the height of the building.

So, vertical displacement = -h (Negative sign implies downward motion)

Acceleration is due to gravity in the downward direction. So,

Acceleration is, g=-9.8\ m/s^2

Now, using the following equation of motion;

-h=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-h=6.34(3)-\frac{9.8}{2}(3)^2\\\\-h=19.02-44.1\\\\-h=-25.08\\\\h=25.08\ m

Therefore, the building is 25.08 m tall.

(b)

Let the maximum height be 'H'.

At maximum height, the vertical component of velocity is 0 as the brick stops temporarily in the vertical direction.

So, v_y=0\ m/s

Now, using the following equation of motion, we have:

v_y^2=u_y^2+2gH\\\\0=(6.34)^2-2\times 9.8\times H\\\\19.6H=40.2\\\\H=\frac{40.2}{19.6}=2.05\ m

Therefore, the maximum height of the brick is 2.05 m.

So, if the page is 12 inches wide, that's the width of the page, 12, minus the width of the photo, 7 1/2. 12 - 7 1/2 = 4 1/2. 
Now, we need to divide 4 1/2 by 2, so it will be even on both sides.
4 1/2 divided by 2 = 2 1/4.
He should put the picture 2 1/4 inches from each side of the page.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The mean will increase more than the median, but both will increase.

[third option listed]

Step-by-step explanation:

the <em>median </em>of a data set is the number in the middle [when listed from lowest to highest in value]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

is the current median

let's consider what adding 12 would mean--it would mean that we move the median slightly higher [further along in the data set] because there are more numbers (but let's try this out to confirm:)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 13

[if a median placement is shared between two numbers, the mean/average of those two numbers is taken, and that is considered to be the median]

so, 7.5 is the current median

(this is an increase of 0.5)

--

the <em>mean</em> of a data set is what we commonly refer to as the "average"

[you find this value by adding all of the numbers in the data set together and dividing by the number of terms in the data set]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

mean of original data set:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 [= 91]

_______________________________________

                                    13

[91 ÷ 13 = 7]

because our number is <em>greater </em>than our original mean [12 > 7], we know that the mean must increase:

[91 + 12 = 103]

[103 ÷ 14 ≈ 9.36]

[we had an increase of 2.36]

so, median increased by 0.5, mean increased by 2.36

so, both values increased, whilst the mean increased by <em>more </em>than the median [as to be expected]

you could also express this as "The mean will increase more than the median, but both will increase." [third option listed]

hope this helps!! :)

There are 4 portable classrooms at Glynn High School. Four teachers will be assigned to the rooms. In how many ways can these as
Crank

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first classroom, there are 4 possibilities of teachers to be assigned.

In the second classroom, 1 teacher has already been assigned, so there are 3 possibilities.

In the third classroom, 2 teachers have already been assigned, so there are only 2 possibilities.

Finally, there is only 1 possible teacher for the fourth classroom, since 3 teachers have already been assigned to other classrooms.

We can find the total number of possibilities using the product rule.

N = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24
