<h3>Answer:  approximately 1560.1 foot-pounds</h3>

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The angle theta is the angle of elevation formed between the horizontal line and the diagonal force being applied (the pulling force). Let x be the horizontal component pulling force, which is the horizontal portion of the right triangle. We know the hypotenuse of this triangle is 55 pounds as it is the force applied.

Use the cosine ratio to help solve for x. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(19) = x/55

x/55 = cos(19)

x = 55*cos(19)

x = 52.0035216579624 which is approximate

Roughly 52.0035216579624 pounds of force is being applied in a pure horizontal direction. The cart moves 30 feet, so,

work = (force)*(displacement)

work = (52.0035216579624)*(30)

work = 1560.10564973888

work = 1560.1 foot-pounds

A foot-pound is a unit of work, similar to how a joule is as well (though a joule measures in kilograms and meters)

According to the Pew Internet &amp; American Life Project, 54% of Internet users have a wireless connection to the Internet via
Setler79 [48]

Answer: 0.135

Step-by-step explanation:

if 54 % of internet users have a wireless connection then number of people that do nor have a wireless connection =46%.

Let A be the event that 54% of internet users have wireless connection.

Let B be the event that 25% of these users that have internet connection use twitter to share updates about themselves.

Hence, probability of A and B happening becomes:

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B)

P(AnB) = 0.54 * 0.25

P(AnB) = 0.135

How would i do number 2?
vekshin1

Answer:

m=2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put a number into the inverse of a function (f^-1) you get the original number back.

Ex: f^-1(11) = (11-3)/2 = 4

f(4) = 2×4+3 = 11

So, f(-5)=-2

So, when x is -5,

f(x) = -2

f(x)=m(-5)+8

-2=m(-5) + 8

m=2

Answer:

AB=12\sqrt{3}\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB is tangent to the circle, then angle ABO is right angle and triangle AOB is special 30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ} triangle. In this triangle, the leg that is opposite to the angle of 30° is half of the hypotenuse. Thus,

AO=2BO=2\cdot 12=24\ cm.

By the Pythagorean theorem,

AB^2=AO^2-BO^2,\\ \\AB^2=24^2-12^2,\\ \\AB^2=576-144=432,\\ \\AB=12\sqrt{3}\ cm.
