How many ternary strings of length 2 n are there in which the zeroes appear only in odd-numbered positions?

1 answer:

8 0

In a string of length $2n$ , there are exactly $n$ odd-numbered posiitons. In the remaning $n$ even-numbered positions, we want to choose from only two possible digits, either a 1 or a 2. This means there are $2^n$ such ternary strings.

A mass of 2000 kg. is raised 5.0 m in 10 seconds. What is the potential energy of the mass at this height?

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

98,000J

Explanation:

Given parameters :

Mass = 2000kg

Height = 5m

Time = 10s

P. E = mgh

P. E = 2000x 5x 9.8

P.E = 98,000J

Two vectors are given by a = 8.6i + 5.1 j and b = 931 + 9.5.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Assuming b = 9.3i + 9.5j (b = 931 + 9.5 is wrong):

a) a×b = 34.27k

b) a·b = 128.43

c) (a + b)·b = 305.17

d) The component of a along the direction of b = 9.66

Explanation:

Assuming b = 9.3i + 9.5j (b = 931 + 9.5 is wrong) we can proceed as follows:

a) The vectorial product, a×b is:

$a \times b = (8.6*9.5 - 5.1*9.3)k = 34.27k$

b) The escalar product a·b is:

$a\cdot b = (8.6*9.3) + (5.1*9.5) = 128.43$

c) Asumming (a + b)·b instead a+b·b we have:

$(a + b)\cdot b = [(8.6 + 9.3)i + (5.1 + 9.5)j]\cdot (9.3i + 9.5j) = (17.9i + 14.6j)\cdot (9.3i + 9.5j) = 305.17$

d) The component of a along the direction of b is:

$a*cos(\theta) = \frac{a\cdot b}{|b|} = \frac{128.43}{\sqrt{9.3^{2} + 9.5^{2}}} = 9.66$

I hope it helps you!

An offshore oil well is 2 kilometers off the coast. The refinery is 4 kilometers down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twi

shusha [124]

Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = $a^{2}$

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, $A_{t} = 4ah$

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = $a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128$ (1)

Total cost, $C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah$ (2)

From eqn (1):

$h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}$

Using the above value in eqn (1):

$C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}$

$C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}$

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

$C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}$

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

$\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0$

a = 4

Also

$h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8$

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.

Wyatt is moving a box with a mass of 37 kg a distance of 37 meters. Wyatt did 360 J of work in 2 minutes when moving the box. Wh

pentagon [3]

His power output was 3 Watt (360 Joule/120 seconds). The power output can be calculated by dividing the quantity of work by the amount of second needed for the activity and also by multiplying the force amount with the velocity of the activity. The power output usually used for measuring the ability of machine for doing its job.

Answer:

- Peat soil

- Loamy soil

- Clay soil

Explanation:

Peat soil is dark, highly decomposed organic matter found in soil.

Loamy soil is a mixture of materials that holds moisture and drains well and also contains coarse grains and allows water to drain quickly.

Clay soil contains medium grains and retains water. Also it contains fine grains and has little space for water.
