Answer

given,

tourist travels = 1500 miles

second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane.

x = y + 50

The tourist uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles.

total flying time = 6.5 hours

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{x} = 6.5

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{y + 50} = 6.5

\dfrac{500(50 + y)+ 1000 y}{y(y + 50)} = 6.5

25000 + 600 y = 6.5 y^2 + 325 y

6.5 y^2 - 275 y - 25000 = 0

on solving equation

y = 86.67 mile/hr

x = 86.67 + 50

x = 136.67 mile/hr

A type of Lead (Pb) ion has a + 4 oxidation number. Sulfur (S) has a — 2 oxidation number. What would be the chemical formula fo
serious [3.7K]

Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here metal lead is having an oxidation state of +4 called as Pb^{4+} cation and sulphur non metal has oxidation state of -2 called as S^{2-}. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral PbS_2

The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

A car takes 10 s to go from v = 0 m/s to v = 25 m/s at constant acceleration. If you wish to find the distance traveled using th
german

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time taken (t) = 10s

acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity, so formula is

a = (v - u)/t

a = (25 - 10)/10

a = 15/10

a = 1.5 m/(s^2)

Use this value of a.

Consider the direction field of the differential equation dy/dx = x(y − 6)2 − 4, but do not use technology to obtain it. Describ
Alona [7]

Answer:

The slopes shows that the direction of the field is from -2 to +2, with three point charges, q₁, q₂ and q₃ at -2, 0 and +2 respectively.

Explanation:

Given;

The slope, dy/dx = 2x(y-6) - 4

2x(y-6) - 4 = 2xy - 12x - 4, divide through by 'x'

dy/dx = 2y -12 - 4/x

The slopes of the linear elements on the lines, x =0, y = 5, y = 6, y = 7.

At x = 0, and y = 5

dy/dx = 2y -12 - 4/x

dy/dx = 2(5) - 12 = -2

At x = 0, and y = 6

dy/dx = 2y -12 - 4/x

dy/dx = 2(6) - 12 = 0

At x = 0, and y = 7

= 2y -12 - 4/x

dy/dx = 2(7) - 12 = 2

Therefore, the slopes shows that the direction of the field is from -2 to +2, with three point charges, q₁, q₂ and q₃ at -2, 0 and +2 respectively.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a final speed of 19 m/s in 10. seconds. How far does it travel during this period of ac
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 95 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 19 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (starts from the rest)

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 10 [s]

Now we can find the acceleration

19 = 0 *a*(10)

a = 1.9 [m/s]

With the second equation we can find the distance:

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +(2*a*x)

where:

x = distance [m]

(19)² = (0)² + (2*1.9*x)

3.8*x = 361

x = 95 [m]
