Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

This will lead us to simultaneous equation since there are two person involved doing the same job each day.

For Ted;

Since Ted can wax 8 cars or wash 10 cars in a day. Mathematically, we have

8x + 10w = 1... (1)

Where x is for waxing cars, w is for washing cars

Similarly for Tom,

Tom can wax 3 cars or wash 5 cars in a day as well, this gives us;

3x + 5w = 1... (2)

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

8x + 10w = 1... (1)

3x + 5w = 1... (2)

Using elimination method, we will multiply eqn 1 by 3 and eqn 2 by 8 to have;

24x + 30w = 3

24x + 40w = 8

Subtracting eqn 4 from 5 we have;

30w - 40w = 3 - 8

-10w = -5

w = 5/10

w = 1/2

Therefore each man's opportunity cost of washing a car is 1/2

Alex

Most waves approach the shore at an angle. However, they bend to be nearly parallel to the shore as they approach it because when a wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the shoreline.

  • Most waves approach shore at an angle. As each one arrives, it pushes water along the shore, creating what is known as a longshore current within the surf zone.
  • Waves approach the coast at an angle because of the direction of prevailing wind.
  • The part of the wave in shallow water slows down, while the part of the wave in deeper water moves at the same speed.
  • Thus when wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the shoreline.

If you were to drop a rock from a tall building, assuming that it had not yet hit the ground, and neglecting air resistance, aft
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion v = u + at to get the speed at which the object would be travelling.

v is the final speed (in m/s)

u is the initial velocity (in m/s)

a is the acceleration (in m/s²)

t is the time taken (in  secs)

Given parameters

u = 0m/s

t = 10s

a = g = 9.8m/s²

Substituting this values into the formula;

v = 0+9.8(10)

v = 0+ 98

v  = 98m/s

<em>Hence the rock will be travelling at a speed of 98m/s.</em>

If a 0.200-kilogram ball sits on a shelf 2.00 meters from the floor, how much mechanical energy (me) does it possess? More than
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Mechanical energy  = 3.92 J

exactly 3.92 j

Explanation:

As we know that mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of the system

so here we can say that mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy of ball and its potential energy

Since ball is at rest so kinetic energy of the ball must be ZERO

Now for potential energy we know that

U = mgh

now we know

m = 0.2 kg

h = 2 m

now for potential ene'rgy

U = (0.20)(9.8)(2)

U = 3.92 J

so mechanical energy is given as

Mechanical Energy = 3.92 + 0 = 3.92 J
