Answer:

The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 10 people in the party .

To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?

Solution:

We are given that there are 10 people in the party

No. of people involved in one handshake = 2

To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here

Formula : ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

n = 10

r= 2

Substitute the values in the formula

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 }{2 \times 1}

^{10}C_{2}=45

No. of possible handshakes are 45

Hence The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

A particle moves along line segments from the origin to the points (3, 0, 0), (3, 3, 1), (0, 3, 1), and back to the origin under
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

[8i + 54j + 72k] joules per newton metre square.

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x,y,z) = z2i + 3xyj + 3y2k

F(3,0,0) = 0

F(3,3,1) = 1(2i) + 3(3)(3)j + 3(3)(2k)

= 2i + 27j + 18k

F(0,3,1) = 1(2i) + 3(0)(3)j + 3(3)(2k)

= 2i + 18k

The sum = [4i + 27j + 36k]

Since the particle moves back to the origin, we multiply the above Work Done by 2:

[8i + 54j + 72k]

And since work done is the product of Force and Distance, the S.I. unit is Joules/newton metre square
