Flura [38]3 years ago

5 0

The gravitational potential energy:

E p = m x g x h

where m is the mass and h is the height;

m = 50 kg, g = 9.81 m/s² , h = 40 m

E p = 50 kg x 9.81 m/s² x 40 m

Answer:

E p = 19,620 J = 19.62 kg

Suppose you have a 6-face unfair dice with numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 on each of its faces. If the probability distribution of throwing

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select which of the options is correct.

The correct option is the option D

Since the die is unfair, we expect that the probability of each of the numbers turning up

will not be equal.

However, we should also expect that if we add the chances of all the numbers occurring together, then the total probability should be equal to 1. But this does not work in this case;

In this case, adding all the probabilities together, we have;

1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/2

= 5(1/12) + 1/2 = 5/12 + 1/2 = 11/12

11/12 is not equal to 1 and thus the probability distribution cannot be correct

119. Beatrice decides to deposit $100 per month at the end of every month in a bank with an annual interest rate of 5.5% compoun

sveta [45]

Answer:

Beatrice will accumulate $1230.72 at the end of the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write:

$(1+\frac{0.055}{12})=z$

$100=C$ for deposits

The first month would have only the deposit reflected in her balance, then, expanding some steps of the calculation would yield:

$S_{1}=C\\S_{2}=Cz + C\\S_{3}=Cz^{2}+Cz + C\\S_{n}=Cz^{n-1} +...+Cz+C$

A geometric series is given by:

$1+x+...+x^{m}=\frac{x^{m+1}-1}{x-1}$

Translating our series to the short form:

$S_{n}=C(\frac{z^{n}-1}{z-1} )$

plugin in the values for the 12 month gives:

$S_{12}=100(\frac{(1+\frac{0.055}{12})^{12} -1}{\frac{0.055}{12}})=1230.7169$

The ratios of corresponding sides in the two triangles are equal. What other information is needed to prove that △FGE ~ △IJH by

schepotkina [342]

solution: option B and C both are correct i.e., option C is correct i.e., ∠E ≅∠H and ∠I ≅ ∠F .

option C is correct i.e., ∠E ≅∠H.

explanation:

it is given that ratio of corresponding sides of ΔFGE and ΔIJH are equal

i.e.,

$\frac{GE}{JH}=\frac{EF}{HI}$

and if ∠E ≅ ∠H

Then ΔFGE and ΔIJH are similar by SAS (side angle side) similarity theorem.

so option C is correct i.e., ∠E ≅ ∠H.

and option B is also correct

explanation:

since it is given that

$\frac{FG}{IJ}=\frac{EF}{HI}$

And if ∠I ≅ ∠F

then ΔFGE and ΔIJH are similar by SAS (side angle side) similarity theorem.
