A man enters a tall tower, needing to know its hieght. He notes that a long pendulum extends from the ceiling almost tothe floor and that its period is 15.5s. (a) How tall isthe tower? (b) If this pendulum is taken to the Moon,where the free-fall acceleration is 1.67m/s2, what isthe period there?T=15.5s(a) L=T2g/4π<span>2</span>

A cosmetic company makes three bottles of scented lotion using the recipe shown. Each bottle holds a different amount of lotion.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Part 1) Bottle 1 (vanilla=1,almond=3,pineapple=4)

Part 2) Bottle 2 (vanilla=2,almond=6,pineapple=8)

Part 3) Bottle 3 (vanilla=1 1/2,almond=4 1/2,pineapple=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of vanilla sent

y ----> amount of almond sent

z ----> the amount of pineapple sent

we know that

$x:y:z=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{y}{3}$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}z$ -----> equation C

Part 1) Bottle 1

vanilla=?

almond=?

pineapple=4

we have

$z=4$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

substitute the value of z in equation B

$x=\frac{1}{4}(4)$

$x=1$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

substitute the value of z in equation C

$y=\frac{3}{4}(4)$

$y=3$

therefore

<em>Bottle 1</em>

vanilla=1

almond=3

pineapple=4

Part 2) Bottle 2

vanilla=?

almond=6

pineapple=?

we have

$y=6$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

substitute the value of y in equation A

$x=\frac{6}{3}=2$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

substitute the value of x in equation B

$2=\frac{1}{4}z$

solve for z

$z=8$

therefore

<em>Bottle 2</em>

vanilla=2

almond=6

pineapple=8

Part 3) Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=?

pineapple=?

we have

$x=1\frac{1}{2}$

convert to an improper fraction

$x=1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

substitute the value of x in equation A

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

$y=\frac{9}{2}$

convert to mixed number

$y=\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

substitute the value of x in equation B

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4}z$

$z=6$

therefore

<em>Bottle 3</em>

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=4 1/2

pineapple=6

The area of a circle is 28.26 square meters. What is the circle's diameter?

ikadub [295]

Answer: area for circle is πr² so πr² =28.26 and we can sub 3.14 as pi

3.14*r²=28.26 we can divide by 3.14 to get r² on it's own

r²=28.26/3.14

then we root both sides to get r on it's own

28.26/3.14=9 √9=3

and the diameter is double the radius 3*2=6 so the diameter is 6

Determine the number of handshakes, i, that will occur for each number of people, n, in a particular room. (people)

Answer:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 5 people

$\begin{array}{cc}{People} & {Handshakes} & {5} & {4} & {4} & {3} & {3} & {2} & {2} & {1} & {1} & {0} &{Total} & {10} \ \end{array}$

Using the given instance of 5 people, the number of handshakes can be represented as:

$(n - 1) + (n - 2) + (n - 3) + ........ + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0$

The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence and the total number of handshakes is the sum of n terms of the sequence.

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}{(T_1 + T_n})$

Where

$T_1 = n - 1$ --- The first term

$T_n = 0$ --- The last term

So:

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1 + 0)$

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(n - 1)$

Purchasing the correctly sized BMX bike is based on the height of the rider. In order to fit a customer, the salesman can use th

Archy [21]

Answer:

(a) 1 inch of rider ⇒ 0.29 inches of frame

Step-by-step explanation:

The "slope" in the equation is the coefficient of the independent variable. Here, that variable is "h", and its coefficient is 0.29. That is, the height of the rider is multiplied by 0.29 (and a constant is added) in order to find the height of the frame.

__

The meaning of the value 0.29 is that a 1 inch increase in the rider's height should result in a 0.29 inch increase in the height of the frame of the bike.

The question asks for an <em>explanation</em> of the slope, not its function in the equation. That is why we have chosen the first answer.
