Answer: The answer is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Michael estimated his mass and found it to be 8 kilograms. It may sound awkward to us, but its true. Because when we measure our weight by the weight machine it gives us the product of our actual mass and the acceleration due to gravity.

From second law of motion, we have

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

That is, W = m × 9.8 m/sec².

The unit of mass is kilogram and 1 kg m/sec² = 1 Newton. Therefore, the unit of the weight we generally measure is Newton (N), not kilogram. Here is what we make mistake usually.

Thus, if Michael' mass is 8 kg, then his weight will be

W = 8 × 9.8 kg m/sec² = 78.4 N, which is normal weight of a person.

Thus, his estimation is perfectly OK.

Answer:

In the first account was invested $\$3,000$ at 3%

In the second account was invested $\$4,000$ at 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

First account

$t=1 years\\ P=\$x\\ r=0.03$

substitute in the formula above

$I=x(0.03*1)$

$I=0.03x$

Second account

$t=1 years\\ P=\$(7,000-x)\\ r=0.05$

substitute in the formula above

$I=(7,000-x)(0.05*1)$

$I=350-0.05x$

Remember that

The interest is equal to $\$290$

Adds the interest of both accounts

$0.03x+350-0.05x=\$290$

$0.05x-0.03x=350-290$

$0.02x=60$

$x=\$3,000$

therefore

In the first account was invested $\$3,000$ at 3%

In the second account was invested $\$7,000-\$3,000=\$4,000$ at 5%

Plz help im cheeks at math

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

We have an exponential with a fractional base and a positive exponent, and a positive sign at front. Each time we multiply a fraction between zero and one by itself it gets smaller. So as x increases we'll go to zero. As x decreases it goes to positive infinity, as negative powers are the reciprocals of positive power.

The left end approaches positive infinity and the right end approaches zero.

Please Help!!! Braniest will be given

To solve this word problem, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Our side lengths are 10 and 24ft.

So, we can plug them in for a and b.

10^2 + 24^2 = c^2

100 + 576 = 676

Then, we need to find the square root of 676.

sqrt676) = 26

So, the missing length or the hypotenuse is 26 feet.

Therefore, we require 26 feet of string to measure the length of the hypotenuse in which the room is split in half.

For the lateral area, don't include the base area. For the surface area, you should include it.
