Answer:

The approximate length of the pendulum is 46.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The time (t) of pendulum oscillation is given as;

$t = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

where;

L is the length of the pendulum

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² = 32.15 ft/s²

t is the time given as 2.4 π seconds

From the equation above, make L the subject of the formula;

$t = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} } \\\\\frac{t}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }\\\\(\frac{t}{2\pi} )^2 =\frac{L}{g} \\\\L = g*(\frac{t}{2\pi} )^2\\\\L = 32.15*(\frac{2.4 \pi}{2\pi} )^2\\\\L = 32.15 *1.44\\\\L = 46.296 \ ft$

Therefore, the approximate length of the pendulum is 46.29 ft

The closest option is 46.08 ft

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{1+e^{-2} }$ ← evaluate $e^{-2}$ using calculator

= $\frac{2}{1+0.135}$

= $\frac{2}{1.135}$

= 1.762.....

≈ 1.8 ( to 1 dec. place )

2(3 – 4a) + 5(a – 7) what are the steps to solve this? please.

Doss [256]

2(3-4a) + 5(a-7) first do the distributive property
6-8a + 5a-35 now combine like terms
-41 - 3a is the final answer

andrezito [222]

Since Juanuary has 31 days we will also count the 31st day.Lets count the days Kevin waters his ivy.He will water it every 3 days so let’s count by threes.

2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26 29

That is all theaters you.Can have in February if you count by 3s.

He will water his cactus every 5th day.Just like before let’s count but this time by 5s.

4 9 14 19 24 29

There are two dates Kevin will water both plants but you said to do the first one so the date will be 14.

Your Answer is the 14th

Can you help me simplify this expression 16d + 20c + 5d -7 - 8c - 7d + 3?

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

12c + 14d - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

16d + 20c + 5d -7 - 8c - 7d + 3

Simplify the expression

__________________________

To solve, we need to first take in mind the fact that there are different like terms within this expression. Like terms are numbers or values that end in different symbols, such as variables or exponents. Since we are filled with variables such as c and d. We can do as followed :

Combine the "d" like terms :

16d + 5d - 7d

21d - 7d

14d

Combine the "c" like terms :

20c - 8c

12c

Combine the constants :

-7 + 3

-4

Now add all of the values together to get the final expression.

12c + 14d - 4

The acceleration of an object (in m/s^2) is given by the function a(t) = 9 sin(t). The initial velocity of the object is v(0) =

pentagon [3]

a) Acceleration is the derivative of velocity. By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

$v(t)=v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^ta(u)\,\mathrm du$

so that

$v(t)=\left(-11\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)+\int_0^t9\sin u\,\mathrm du$

$\boxed{v(t)=-\left(2+9\cos t)\right)\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

b) We get the displacement by integrating the velocity function like above. Assume the object starts at the origin, so that its initial position is $s(0)=0\,\mathrm m$ . Then its displacement over the time interval [0, 3] is

$s(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^3v(t)\,\mathrm dt=-\int_0^3(2+9\cos t)\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{-6-9\sin3}$

c) The total distance traveled is the integral of the absolute value of the velocity function:

$s(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^3|v(t)|\,\mathrm dt$

$v(t)$ for $0\le t$ and $v(t)\ge0$ for $\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac29\right)\le t\le3$ , so we split the integral into two as

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac29\right)}-v(t)\,\mathrm dt+\int_{\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac29\right)}^3v(t)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac29\right)}(2+9\cos t)\,\mathrm dt-\int_{\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac29\right)}^3(2+9\cos t)\,\mathrm dt$

$\displaystyle=\boxed{2\sqrt{77}-6+4\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac29\right)-9\sin3}$
