Answer:
t_a = 7 s
t_w = 5 s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The average speed in air v_a = 16 m/s
- The average speed in water v_w = 3 m/s
- The total distance D = 127 m
- The total time T = 12 s
Find:
How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?
Solution:
- Lets time taken by stone to drop through air as t_a = t_a.
- The time taken in water would be t_w = (12 - t_a)
- The total distance covered can be calculated as:
D = v_a*t_a+ v_w*(12 - t_a)
127 = 16*t_a + 3*(12 - t_a)
Simplify and solve for t:
91 = 16*t_a - 3t_a
13*t_a = 91
t_a = 7 s
t_w = 5 s
The change of the weather balloon would be 90% increase. to get the percentage of change we have to subtract 50 ft to 95 ft, it will then give us the 45 ft change. Then we have to divide 45 ft by 50 ft times 100, it will give us 90%. Then since the change and percentage of change is positive then the change could be describe as increasing.
only the first statement is true - it is the experimental probability. the rest is incorrect: the ratio is not the number of trials; the theoretical probability should be 0.5 (for unbiased coins); ratio never represents a number of occurences.
To solve this problem, let us first assign some
variables. Let us say that:
x = pigs
y = chickens
z = ducks
From the problem statement, we can formulate the
following equations:
1. y + z = 30 --->
only chicken and ducks have feathers
2. 4 x + 2 y + 2 z = 120 --->
pig has 4 feet, while chicken and duck has 2 each
3. 2 x + 2 y + 2 z = 90 --->
each animal has 2 eyes only
Rewriting equation 1 in terms of y:
y = 30 – z
Plugging this in equation 2:
4 x + 2 (30 – z) + 2 z = 120
4 x + 60 – 2z + 2z = 120
4 x = 120 – 60
4 x = 60
x = 15
From the given choices, only one choice has 15 pigs. Therefore
the answers are:
She has 15 pigs, 12 chickens, and 18 ducks.
