Leila drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 10 hours. When Leila drov

e home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 7 hours. If her average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Leila live from the mountains?

Answer:

420 miles

Explanation:

Since distance is speed times time taken, you get two conditions:

\left \{ {{d=v*10} \atop {d=(v+18)*7}} \right.

Easiest way to solve it is to set the two condition equal - she's coming and going from the same place after all - and you get 10v=(v+18)*7\\10v=7v+3*6*7\\3v=3*6*7 \\v=42 Replace in either equation and you'll get d=420

A 9-inch tall sunflower is planted in a garden and the height of the sunflower increases exponentially. 5 days after being plant
stira [4]

Answer:

a)  h / h₀ = 1,682

, b) h / h₀ = 1.11

, c)    h / h₀ = 2.07

Explanation:

For this exercise let's look for the growth equation, as they indicate that it is exponential

        h = h₀ e^{\alpha t}

The initial height is 9 ”, so the constant

         h₀ = 9”

Let's use the given values

       h = 15.1655”

       t = 5 days

       h / h₀ = e^{\alpha t}

      α = 1 / t ln h / h₀

       α = 1/5 ln (15.1655 / 9)

      α = 0.104

       h = 9 e^{0.104 t}

a) the growth factor is the relationship between the initial value and the current value

        h / h₀ = e^{0.104  5}

        h / h₀ = 1,682

b) for t = 1 day

       h / h₀ = e^{0.104 1}

       h / h₀ = 1.11

c) for t = 7 days

       h / h₀ = e^{0.104 7}

       h / h₀ = 2.07

If released, the chemical potential energy will cause the coal atoms and molecules to vibrate violently, and this internal kinet
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A. burn the coal

Explanation:

Burning the coal is only the way to convert the stored chemical energy of the coal into the the kinetic energy of its molecules that can then be transferred to the nearby objects in the form of heat by the various modes of heat transfer such as conduction, convection or radiation.

Conduction is the contact method of heat transfer in which the adjacent atom transfers the vibration kinetic energy.

Convection is the bulk mode of heat transfer in which the bulk mass of molecules moves near and far to the heat source.

Radiation is the distant mode of heat transfer in the form of electromagnetic waves.
