The mass of the toddler is 12.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) =

mass (m) × height (h) × gravitational field strength (g)

1. Gravitational potential energy is measured in (J)

2. Mass is measured in (kg)

3. Height is measured in (m)

4. Gravitational field strength (g) is measured in (N/kg)

∵ A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air

∴ h = 1.5 m

∵ The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential

   energy store as a result

∴ GPE = 187.5 j

- Assume that the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg

∴ g = 10 N/kg

Substitute the values of GPE , h and g in the rule above to find m

∵ GPE = m h g

∴ 187.5 = m × 1.5 × 10

∴ 187.5 = 15 m

- Divide both sides by 15

∴ m = 12.5 kg

The mass of the toddler is 12.5 kg

Answer:

(0, 6)

explanation:

  • original coordinates of C: (5, -6)

if reflected over x-axis, then use the formula: (x,y) → (x, -y)

  • new coordinates: (5, 6)

then if translated -5 horizontally, there will be change in x axis

  • new coordinates: (5-5, 6) → (0, 6)

-6Y-3=3-6Y what the answer
anyanavicka [17]

The answer is the number that 'Y' must be in order for
the equation to be true.
That number is called the 'solution' to the equation.
Here's one way to go about finding it:

You said that                      - 6y - 3  =  3 - 6y

Add  6y  to each side:                - 3 =  3

Let's stop right here.
Is there any value of 'Y' that can make  -3 = 3 ?
I don't think so.
Your equation has NO SOLUTION.

There is NO NUMBER that you can write in place of 'y'
in your equation
                           - 6y - 3  =  3 - 6y
                                                       and have it work out to be true. 

That's OK.  There are lots of equations that have no solution.
