Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.642 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In the pendulum formula , we use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. If an astronaut on the surface of the moon swings a 1-meter long pendulum, and it has a period of 4.9 seconds.

To find : What is the acceleration due to gravity, g, on the moon?

Solution :

The pendulum formula is $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where, T is the time period,

L is the length of the pendulum,

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We have to find the value of g acceleration due to gravity on the moon.

The formula became,

$g'=(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2\times L$

Substitute T=4.9 seconds , L= 1 m

$g'=(\frac{2\times 3.14}{4.9})^2\times 1$

$g'=(\frac{6.28}{4.9})^2$

$g'=\frac{39.4384}{24.01}$

$g'=1.642$

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.642 m/s².

For integers a, b, and c, consider the linear Diophantine equation ax C by D c: Suppose integers x0 and y0 satisfy the equation;

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

a.

$x = x_1+r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )\\y=y_1-r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )$

b. x = -8 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. I will type the complete question below before giving my solution.

For integers a, b, c, consider the linear Diophantine equation

$ax+by=c$

Suppose integers x0 and yo satisfy the equation; that is,

$ax_0+by_0 = c$

what other values

$x = x_0+h$ and $y=y_0+k$

also satisfy ax + by = c? Formulate a conjecture that answers this question.

Devise some numerical examples to ground your exploration. For example, 6(-3) + 15*2 = 12.

Can you find other integers x and y such that 6x + 15y = 12?

How many other pairs of integers x and y can you find ?

Can you find infinitely many other solutions?

From the Extended Euclidean Algorithm, given any integers a and b, integers s and t can be found such that

$as+bt=gcd(a,b)$

the numbers s and t are not unique, but you only need one pair. Once s and t are found, since we are assuming that gcd(a,b) divides c, there exists an integer k such that gcd(a,b)k = c.

Multiplying as + bt = gcd(a,b) through by k you get

$a(sk) + b(tk) = gcd(a,b)k = c$

So this gives one solution, with x = sk and y = tk.

Now assuming that ax1 + by1 = c is a solution, and ax + by = c is some other solution. Taking the difference between the two, we get

$a(x_1-x) + b(y_1-y)=0$

Therefore,

$a(x_1-x) = b(y-y_1)$

This means that a divides b(y−y1), and therefore a/gcd(a,b) divides y−y1. Hence,

$y = y_1+r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)})$ for some integer r. Substituting into the equation

$a(x_1-x)=rb(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )\\gcd(a, b)*a(x_1-x)=rba$

or

$x = x_1-r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )$

Thus if ax1 + by1 = c is any solution, then all solutions are of the form

$x = x_1+r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )\\y=y_1-r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )$

In order to find all integer solutions to 6x + 15y = 12

we first use the Euclidean algorithm to find gcd(15,6); the parenthetical equation is how we will use this equality after we complete the computation.

$15 = 6*2+3\\6=3*2+0$

Therefore gcd(6,15) = 3. Since 3|12, the equation has integral solutions.

We then find a way of representing 3 as a linear combination of 6 and 15, using the Euclidean algorithm computation and the equalities, we have,

$3 = 15-6*2$

Because 4 multiplies 3 to give 12, we multiply by 4

$12 = 15*4-6*8$

So one solution is

$x=-8$ & $y = 4$

All other solutions will have the form

$x=-8+\frac{15r}{3} = -8+5r\\y=4-\frac{6r}{3} =4-2r$

where $r$ ∈ Ζ

Hence by putting r values, we get many (x, y)

How would you Evaluate. 5⋅4 ^0

solniwko [45]

It is understood that 5.4^0 is the number 5.4 raised to the power zero.

There is a rule for this: any number raised to the power zero is 1.

So, 5.4 ^ 0 = 1.

You can show that any number raised to the power of zero is 1 using this:

A^0 = (A)^(m - m) = [A^m] / [A^m]

Given that the numerator and the numerator of that fraction are equals the result is 1.

A shipping container will be used to transport several 150-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

150c + 13,700 < 23,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest weight that can be loaded into the container = 23,000 kilograms

Weight of each crate = 150 kilogram

Weight of other shipment = 13,700 kilograms

c = total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded

This can be represented by the inequality:

150c + 13,700 < 23,000

That is, Weight of each crate multiplied by total number of 150-kilogram crates that can be loaded Plus Weight of other shipment less than greatest weight that can be loaded into the container
