Answer:

$x=-\frac{70}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by doing operations to both sides of the equation.

The work is shown below:

$\frac{5}{7} =\frac{10}{x} +2\\\\\frac{5}{7} - 2=\frac{10}{x} +2 - 2\\\\-\frac{9}{7} = \frac{10}{x}\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}*x = \frac{10}{x}*x\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}x = 10\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}x * (-\frac{7}{9})= 10 * (-\frac{7}{9}) \\\\x=-\frac{70}{9}$

A canister is dropped from a helicopter 500m above the ground. Its parachute does not open, but the canister has been designed t

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The impact speed 98.995 m/s is less than 100 m/s and the canister will not burst.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function F is called an antiderivative of f on an interval I if $F'(x) = f(x)$ for all x in I.

Recall that if the object has position function $s=f(t)$ , then the velocity function is $v(t)=s'(t)$ . This means that the position function is an antiderivative of the velocity function. Likewise, the acceleration function is $a(t)=v'(t)$ , so the velocity function is an antiderivative of the acceleration.

An object near the surface of the earth is subject to a gravitational force that produces a downward acceleration denoted by $g$ . For motion close to the ground we may assume that $g$ is constant, its value being about $9.8 \:{\frac{m}{s^2}}$ .

We know that the acceleration due to gravity is given by

$a(t)=-9.8$

and the antiderivative is velocity

$v(t)=\int a(t)\,dt\\v(t)=\int -9.8\,dt\\v(t)=-9.8t +C$

We know that the canister was dropped, so the initial velocity at t = 0 is zero, this fact let us know the value of C.

$v(0)=9.8(0)+C\\C=0$

The antiderivative of velocity is the position

$s(t)=\int v(t) \, dt\\s(t)=\int -9.8t \, dt\\s(t)=-4.9t^2+C$

To find the value of the constant C, we know that the height was 500 m at t = 0, this means $s(0)=500$

$500=-4.9(0)^2+C\\C=500$

$s(t)=-4.9t^2+500$

Using the fact that at the time of impact the height s(t) is zero we can compute the total time of the fall:

$s(t)=-4.9t^2+500=0\\\\-4.9t^2=-500\\\\t^2=\frac{5000}{49}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{5000}{49}},\:t=-\sqrt{\frac{5000}{49}}$

A negative time does not make sense, so we only take as a possible solution

$t=\sqrt{\frac{5000}{49}}=\frac{50\sqrt{2}}{7}\approx 10.102$

Now the final velocity is

$v(\frac{50\sqrt{2}}{7})=-9.8(\frac{50\sqrt{2}}{7})\approx -98.995$

The impact speed 98.995 m/s is less than 100 m/s and the canister will not burst.

The 24-hour time is 14:00. Find the equivalent 12-hour time. Show all work.

Alexxandr [17]

It's 2:00 pm.
12:00 is noon, and since 14 is 2 hours more, I just figured it out. Here are some other answers.

13:00- 1 pm
14:00- 2 pm
15:00- 3 pm
16:00- 4 pm
17:00- 5 pm
18:00- 6 pm
19:00 7 pm
20:00 8 pm
21:00 9 pm
22:00- 10 pm
23:00 is 11 pm
24:00 is midnight
Any of those with numbers after that is the same hour with different minutes, for example 20:22 is 8:22 pm. Hope I helped.

The following table represents a linear function. What is the y-intercept?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

B; The y-intercept is two.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept, by definition, is when the line intersects the y-axis. Because of this, x has to be 0. Now, all we have to do is find the point that corresponds with 0 (on the table), and it's two.

The point is (0,2).
