Answer:

Equilibrium quantity = 5

Equilibrium price = 40

Explanation:

given:

p = -x²-3x+80

p = 7x+5

For the equilibrium quantity the price from both the functions will be equal

thus, we have

-x² - 3x + 80 = 7x+5

⇒ x² +3x + 7x + 5 - 80 = 0

⇒x² + 10x - 75 = 0

now solving for x

x²- 5x + 15x -75 = 0

x(x-5) + 15(x-5) = 0

therefore, the two roots of the equation are

x = 5 and x = -15

since the quantity cannot be in negative

therefore, the equilibrium quantity will be = 5

now the equilibrium price can be found out by substituting the equilibrium quantity in any of the equation

thus,

p = -(5)² -3(5) + 80 = 40

or

p = 7(5) + 5 = 40

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

Two long parallel wires carry currents of 3.35 A and 6.99 A . The magnitude of the force per unit length acting on each wire is
Nady [450]

Answer:

244mm

Explanation:

I₁ = 3.35A

I₂ = 6.99A

μ₀ = 4π*10^-7

force per unit length (F/L) = 6.03*10⁻⁵N/m

B = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ )/ 2πr .........equation i

B = F / L ..........equation ii

equating equation i & ii,

F / L = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ )/ 2πr

Note F/L = B = F

F = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ ) / 2πr

2πr*F = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ )

r = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ ) / 2πF

r = (4π*10⁻⁷ * 3.35 * 6.99) / 2π * 6.03*10⁻⁵

r = 1.4713*10⁻⁵ / 6.03*10⁻⁵

r = 0.244m = 244mm

The distance between the wires is 244m
