To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t, t=log_{.5} .125=3. This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375

Four glasses of milk and 3 snack bars have a total of 82 carbohydrates (carbs), and 2 glasses of milk and 4 snack bars have a to
vredina [299]

Answer:

  • milk: 10 carbs
  • snack bar: 14 carbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m and s represent the carbs in the milk and snack bar, respectively. The given relations are ...

  4m +3s = 82

  2m +4s = 76

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second gives ...

  2(2m +4s) -(4m +3s) = 2(76) -(82)

  5s = 70 . . . . . . . simplify

  s = 14 . . . . . . . divide by 5

We substitute this into the second equation to find m.

  2m +4(14) = 76

  m +28 = 38 . . . . divide by 2

  m = 10 . . . . . . subtract 28

There are 10 carbs in a glass of milk; 14 carbs in a snack bar.

Answer:

54.8 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Torque is the cross product of the radius vector and force vector:

τ = r × F

Another way to write it is the product of the radius and force magnitudes times the sine of the angle between the vectors.

τ = rF sin θ

Here, r = 0.366 meters and F = 155 Newtons.  F is in the +y direction, and r is 15° below the +x axis, so the angle between the vectors is 90° − 15° = 75°.

τ = (0.366 m) (155 N) (sin 75°)

τ = 54.8 Nm
