Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is permutation, since order matters. The formula for us is
₁₈P₅ = 
which simplifies to
₁₈P₅ = 
The factorial of 13 cancels out on the top and bottom leaving you with
₁₈P₅ = 18 × 17 × 16 × 15 × 14
which comes to 1,028,160 ways
Another way to look at it is: the first 5 people of 18 finish and the others you don't care about. Once the first place person is first, there are only 4 of the 18 left to finish in second place. Then there are only 3 left to finish in third place, etc. So if we use that reasoning, we don't even need to use the formula, we can just say
18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 and those are the first 5 people of 18 to finish.
Turn fraction into a decimal.
-2 1/2 = -2.5
Remember that when you subtract a negative number it automatically changes it to adding a positive number.
-6 + 2.5 = -3.5
Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
KE = 0 (because velocity is 0)
PE = mgh = 2kg*9.8m/s^2*40m= 784 joule
<u>Explanation:</u>
KE stands for kinetic energy. In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Since in this case, the building is still and therefore it does not have any kind of kinetic energy because there is not acceleration.
