It's generally known that it takes 8 minutes for light to get from the Sun to the Earth. If the speed of light is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s

and the distance from the Sun to the Earth is 9.3 X 10^7 miles, is this a true statement?

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time required at the given speed and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (9.3×10^7 mi)(1.6×10^3 m/mi)/(3.0×10^8 m/s) ≈ 4.96×10^2 s

This time corresponds to 8 minutes and 16 seconds. To an accuracy of 1 significant digit, the statement is true.

The velocity of a 150 kg cart changes from 6.0 m/s to 14.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the impulse that acted on it?
tatuchka [14]
<span>An impulse is the change in momentum. Momentum is mass times velocity. Because the mass does not change, a change in velocity is what creates an impulse. (14.0 m/s - 6.0 m/s) = 8.0 m/s. (150 kg)x(8.0 m/s) = 1200 kgm/s.</span>

A+b=77,a-b=13 care sun nr
STALIN [3.7K]
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..

a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2

2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together

a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13

Which gives;
2a = 90

Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45

3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.

a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32

4.Solution

a=45
b=32

5.1.2 Exam: Semester 2 Exam
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

See attached picture to view the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by analyzing how this average idea works:

If only one member goes to the trip, it will cost him/her $1000+$200 = $1200.

If two members go to the trip, then they will share the cost as per the following: ($1000+ $200 + $200 = $1400) which they will be dividing into two people, thus costing each of them $700.

Notice that the general function that represents such average will be given by: f(x) = \frac{1000+200x}{x}

Plot such function in the two dimensional plane, and you will get the asymptotic behavior shown in the attached image.

Find the value of x so that the function has the given value
True [87]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the value of x so that the function has the given value in the following:

1) h(x) = -7x; h(x)=63

From the function given above,

If h(x) = 63, then,

h(x) = 63 = -7x

-7x = 63

Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -7, it becomes

-7x/-7 = 63/-7

x = - 9

2) m(x) = 4x + 15; m(x)=7

From the function given above,

If m(x) = 7, then,

m(x) = 7 = 4x + 15

7 = 4x + 15

4x = 15 - 7 = 8

Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes

4x/4 = 8/4

x = 2

3) q(x) = 1/2x - 3; q(x) = -4

From the function given above,

If q(x) = - 4, then,

q(x) = - 4 = 1/(2x - 3) =

Cross multiplying,

-4(2x-3) = 1

-8x +12 = 1

Collecting like terms,

-8x = 1 - 12

-8x = -11

Dividing the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by -8, it becomes

-8x/8 = -11/-8

x = 11/8
