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

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Speed of ball u=3.2\ m/s

Plane is inclined at an angle 20^{\circ}

To win the Game we need to hit the target at x=2.4\ m away

Launch angle of ball \theta

Motion of ball can be considered in two planes i.e. Vertical to the plane and horizontal to the plane

So Net acceleration in vertical plane is g\sin 20

Range of Projectile is given by

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

for R=2.4\ m

2.4=\frac{3.2^2\times sin 2\theta }{g\sin 20}

\sin 2\theta =\frac{2.4\times 9.8\times \sin 20}{3.2^2}

\sin 2\theta =0.7855

2\theta =51.77

\theta =25.88^{\circ}

so ball must be launched at an angle of 25.88^{\circ}

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 20
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = 4,116 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of baby = 20 kg

Height = 21 m

Find:

Energy in carriage (Potential energy)

Computation:

The energy accumulated in an object as a result of its location relative to a neutral level is known as potential energy.

In carriage accumulated energy is potential energy.

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = mgh

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = (20)(9.8)(21)

Energy in carriage (Potential energy) = 4,116 J
