Answer:

<em />

  • <em>It takes</em><u>     2.5 minutes   </u><em>to fill the tank.</em>

Explanation:

The net speed or net rate for filling the 10-liters tank is equal to the speed the tap is filling less the speed the water is leaking through the hole located at the bottom of the tank:

  • Net rate = rate of filling - rate of leaking
  • Net rate = 5 liters/minute - 1 liter/minute
  • Net rate = 4 liters/minute

Thus, consiedering the tank is empty at the beginning, the time is:

  • Time = Volume of the tank / net rate of filling
  • Time = 10 liters / (4liters/minute)
  • Time = 2.5 minutes ← answer

If gas prices are now $3.75 and they were up 10% from 6 months ago, how much were gas prices 6 months ago?
Hatshy [7]

Given

gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.

Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.

To proof

gas prices now = $3.75

let the gas price 6 month ago = x

gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago

First write 10% in simpler form

= \frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

Now the equation becomes

0.1x + x = 3.75

1.1x = 3.75

x =\frac{3.75}{1.1}

x = 3.41 (approx)

Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )

Hence proved

Miss Jones attended a a southern living home party she purchased a vase which cost $34.99The shipping charge was three dollars a
jenyasd209 [6]
The answer is $41.12
(Work is below)

First add the total of the vase and shipping-
Vase:                    $34.99
Shipping:              $   3.00
                         +__________
                             $37.99

Then calculate sales tax by multiplying $37.99 x 0.0825 -
Above Total:         $37.99
Sales Tax Rate:    $   0.0825
                         x__________
                              $  3.1341
You round down because ^ less than five (five or above you would round up)

Sales Tax:             $3.13

Then you add the sales tax to the above total

Vase:                    $37.99
Shipping:              $  3.13
                         +__________
                             $41.12

A 748-N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 4.0 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of fr
Ber [7]

Answer:

The man will take 64 seconds to reach to the south shore of the frozen pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of the man = 748 N      Mass of the man,(m)= \frac{W}{g} = \frac{748}{9.8} = 76.32 kg

Radius of the pond (r) = 4 m

Mass of the textbook = 1.2 kg

Velocity at which the textbook is thrown = 4 ms^1

We have to find the velocity of the man after the throw.

Let the velocity is V_m .

Now using law of conservation of momentum we can find the V_m value.

m_(_b_)V_b_(_i_) +m_(_m_)V_m_(_i_) =m_(_b_)V_b_(_f_)+m_(_m_) V_m_(_f_)

Considering V_m_(_f_)=V_m

And initial velocity of both the man and book i.e V_b_(_i_)=0,\ V_m_(i_)=0

So,

⇒ 0 =m_(_b_)V_b_(_f_)+m_(_m_) V_m

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ V_m=-\frac{m_(_b_)V_b_(_f_)}{m_(_m_)}

⇒ V_m=-\frac{1.2\times 4}{76.32}

⇒ V_m=-0.062 ms^-1

Here the negative velocity is meant for opposite direction of the throw.

Numerically we will write, V_m = 0.062

With this velocity the man will move towards south.

We have to calculate the time taken by the man to move to its south shore.

And we know velocity(v)\times time(t) = distance(d)

Let the time taken be t and v\times t = d and d=r then, V_m\times t=r

Then

⇒ t=\frac{radius\ (r)}{V_m}

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ t=\frac{4}{0.062}

⇒ t =64 sec

The man will take 64 seconds to reach to the south shore of the frozen pond (circular).
