<h3>Answer: 22 degrees</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

Use the law of cosines to isolate angle A

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A)

3^2 = 5^2 + 7^2 - 2*5*7*cos(A) ... plug in a=3, b=5, c=7

9 = 25 + 49 - 70*cos(A)

9 = 74 - 70*cos(A)

74 - 70*cos(A) = 9

-70*cos(A) = 9 - 74 .... subtract 74 from both sides

-70*cos(A) = -65

cos(A) = -65/(-70) ... divide both sides by 70

cos(A) = 13/14

A = arccos(13/14) .... apply the arcosine function to both sides

A = 21.7867892982619

This rounds to 22 degrees

A three inch diameter pulley on an electric motor that runs at 1800

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) 3 inch pulley: 11,309.7 radians/min

6) 6 inch pulley: 5654.7 radians/min

b) 900 RPM (revolutions per minute)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

When a pulley wirh radius R rotantes an angle θ, the arc length travelled by a point on its rim is Rθ. Then the tangential speed V is related to angular speed ω as:

$V=R\omega$

When you connect two pulleys with a belt, if the belt doesn't slip, each point of the belt has the same speed as each point in the rim of both pulleys: Then, both pulleys have the same tangential speed:

$\omega_1 R_1 = \omega_2 R_2\\$

$\omega_2 = \omega_1 \frac{R_1}{R_2} =1800RPM* \frac{3}{6}= 900RPM$

We need to convert RPM to radias per minute. One revolution is 2π radians, then:

$\omega_1 = 1800*2\pi \frac{radians}{min} = 11,309.7\frac{radians}{min}$

$\omega_2 = 5654.7 \frac{radians}{min}$

The saw rotates with the same angular speed as the 6 inch pulley: 900RPM

Maya is helping a gardener plant 300 bulbs. They plant 20% of the bulbs on Monday and 30% of the bulbs on Tuesday. Maya says thi

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

because the total is 300 not 100 so 50 is not reasonable because that is the percentage they planted and since it is more than 100 then it should be a percent of 300 not 100. Maya is wrong about placing 50 bulbs instead they placed 150.

One division of a large defense contractor manufactures telecommunication equipment for the military. This division reports that

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

At the 95% confidence level, management should not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components, since the upper bound of the confidene interval, which is 0.1339, is higher than 0.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reach a conclusion, we have to observe the confidence interval.

Should management conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components?

Is the upper bound of the confidence interval lower than 12% = 0.12?

If yes, it should conclude that this percentage is lower.

Otherwise, it cannot conclude.

Confidence interval:

0.0758 to 0.1339

0.1339 is higher than 0.12.

So.
