The answer is A. 1/4 because there are 4 quarters in a whole. So if he packed 3/4 there is 1/4 to be packed in the afternoon

Kal is decorating the outside edge of a square

Grace [21]

Answer: Option A
Take not that this is a square bulletin board thus area = Length Times Base. Notice how it says its a square as well? thus telling us that each side is of equal length

Squaring the value N would give us the value of the one side of the board

Scientists have discovered a vaccine for a debilitating disease. This year there were 570,000 reported new cases of the disease

Ket [755]

Answer: There are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population = 570000

Rate at which population decreases is given by

$\frac{2}{3}$

Now,

First year =570000

Second year is given by

$570000\times (\frac{1}{3})$

Third year is given by

$570000(\frac{1}{3})^2$

so, there is common ratio ,

it becomes geometric progression, as there is exponential decline.

so,

$570000,570000\times \frac{1}{3},570000\times( \frac{1}{3})^2,......,570000\times (\frac{1}{3})^6$

a=570000

common ratio is given by

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1}{3}$

number of terms = 6

Sum of terms will be given by

$S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}$

We'll put this value in this formula,

$S_6=\frac{570000(1-(\frac{1}{3})^6}{(1-\frac{1}{3})}\\\\=853827.16$

So, there are approximately 853827 new cases in 6 years.

A gun mass of 5 kg fired a bullet of mass 10 g with the velocity of 360 km/h. What

klemol [59]

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the gun is $0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}$ and is pointing in opposite direction to the velocity of the bullet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conservation of linear momentum, which states that the momentum of the bullet (product of the bullet's mass times its speed) should equal in absolute value the momentum of the recoiling gun (its mass times its recoil velocity).

We also write the mass of the bullet in the same units as the mass of the gun (for example kilograms). Mass of the bullet = 0.010 kg

In mathematical terms, we have:

$5\, kg * v= 0.01 \,kg\,* 360\,\frac{km}{h} \\v=\frac{0.01\,*360}{5} \,\,\frac{km}{h}\\v=0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}$
