Answer:

c = 22.8 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The ship A sails north at the rate of 14 mile per hour , it represent the opposite side of a triangle. Ship B start at the same point and move east at the rate of 18 miles per hour, it represent the adjacent side.

The other rate telling you how fast the distance between them are changing can be computed using the Pythagorean theorem, since the change in time is 1 hour. From 12 noon to 1 pm.

c = ?

a = 14

b = 18

c² = a² + b²

c² = 14² + 18²

c² = 196  + 324

c² = 520

c = √520

c = 22.803508502

c = 22.8 miles/hr

Answer:

we \: have \: ohms \: law \: h =  {i}^{2} rt \\  \frac{h}{t}  =  {i}^{2} rt \div t = p \\  p =  {i}^{2} r....(1) \\ we \: have \: v = ir \\ i =  \frac{v}{r} .....(2) \\ put \: (2) \: in \: (1) \\ then \: p =  { (\frac{v}{r}) }^{2} r \\ p =  \frac{ {v}^{2} }{r}  \\ v =  \sqrt{pr}  =  {(pr)}^{ \frac{1}{2} }  \\ 2) \\ here \: r = 32 \: and \: p = .5 \\ then \: v =  \sqrt{32 \times .5}  \\  =  \sqrt{16}  = 4volt \\ thank \: you

I want to withdraw 400.00 for 9 years at 8%. How much do I need to deposit
Degger [83]

Answer:

The principal investment required to get a total amount, principal plus interest, of $400.00 from simple interest at a rate of 8% per year for 9 years is $232.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Total accrued Amount A = 400.00 (Let say $)
  • Time period t = 9 years
  • Interest rate r = 8% = 0.08

To determine

Principle P = ?

Using the formula

P = A / (1 + rt)

substituting A = 400.00, t = 9 and r = 0.08 in the formula

P = 400 / ( 1 + (0.08 × 9))

P = $232.56

Therefore, the principal investment required to get a total amount, principal plus interest, of $400.00 from simple interest at a rate of 8% per year for 9 years is $232.56.
