If the crate took 8 seconds to go from traveling at 2 meters per second one way to moving at 2 meters per second in the opposite

direction, what is its acceleration?

1 answer:

Answer:

-0.5 ms^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial velocity (u) = 2 ms-1

Final velocity (v) = 2 ms-1

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

However the question clearly says that the final velocity is in opposite direction to the initial velocity. This implies that we have (-v), final velocity in opposite direction.

We must recall that vectors in opposite direction are commonly shown using a negative sign. Velocity is a vector, hence it possesses both magnitude and direction as we can see from the question.

Hence;

From a= v-u/t

a= (-2) - 2 / 8 = -0.5 ms^-2

Hence the acceleration of the crate is -0.5 ms^-2

The answer I believe is 5 because 2 vases hold 10 red roses and 5 yellow roses. But since the person has 3 vases but it has to be the same amount as the first person. They would both have 30 flowers in their vases. But then each of the vases has 6 red roses so you just do 30 divided by 6 and you get 5.

For the function y=3x2: (a) Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [3,6]. (b) Find the instant

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Geometrically speaking, the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval by definition of secant line:

$r = \frac{y(b) -y(a)}{b-a}$ (1)

Where:

$a$ , $b$ - Lower and upper bounds of the interval.

$y(a)$ , $y(b)$ - Function exaluated at lower and upper bounds of the interval.

If we know that $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , $a = 3$ and $b = 6$ , then the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval is:

$r = \frac{3\cdot (6)^{2}-3\cdot (3)^{2}}{6-3}$

$r = 27$

The average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval $[3,6]$ is 27.

b) The instantaneous rate of change can be determined by the following definition:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{y(x+h)-y(x)}{h}$ (2)

Where:

$h$ - Change rate.

$y(x)$ , $y(x+h)$ - Function evaluated at $x$ and $x+h$ .

If we know that $x = 3$ and $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , then the instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ is:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{3\cdot (x+h)^{2}-3\cdot x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{2}-x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2\cdot h\cdot x +h^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 6\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} x +3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} h$

$y' = 6\cdot x$

$y' = 6\cdot (3)$

$y' = 18$

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.

I have 30 photos to post on my website. I'm planning to post these on two web pages, one marked "Friends" and the other marked "

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:a) 870

b) 435

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

number of photos to be posted =n = 30

number of web pages on which they would be posted is 2

Since the order in which the photos appear on the web pages matters,

Number of ways = 30 permutation 2

=870 ways

b)

Since the order in which the photos appear on the web pages does not matter,

Number of ways = 30 combination 2

= 435 ways
