An ancient Chinese candle clock tells the amount of time that has passed by the amount of wax that has been melted off the candl

e. Each candle is divided into 121212 sections, marked 111 inch (\text{in})(in)(, start text, i, n, end text, )apart. It takes 444 hours (\text{hrs})(hrs)(, start text, h, r, s, end text, )for each candle to completely melt, after which a new candle is lit. If two candles have completely melted and one candle has melted 4\ \text{in}4 in4, space, start text, i, n, end text, how many minutes have passed since the first candle was lit

Answer:

Time = 560\ mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Candles = 2 --- candles melted

Divisions = 12

Time = 4\ hrs --- time to melt

Required

The time since the first was lit

If 1 candle melts in 4 hours, 2 candles will melt in 8 hours.

i.e.

x = Candles * Time

x = 2 * 4hrs

x = 8hrs

For the 3rd candle that has melted, 4 inches

First, calculate the fraction that melt

Fraction = \frac{Melt}{Division}

Fraction = \frac{4}{12}

Fraction = \frac{1}{3}

The time to melt is:

y = Fraction * Time

y= 4 * \frac{1}{3}

y= \frac{4}{3}hrs

So, the required time is:

Time = x + y

Time = 8hrs + \frac{4}{3}hrs

Convert to minutes

Time = 8*60mins + \frac{4}{3}*60mins

Time = 480mins + 80mins

Time = 560\ mins

An Archer shoots an arrow horizontally at 250 feet per second. The bullseye on the target and the arrow are initially at the sam
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

<h2>1.84feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for finding range in projectile, Since range is the distance covered in the horizontal direction;

Range R = U\sqrt{\frac{H}{g} }

U is the velocity of the arrow

H is the maximum height reached = distance below the bullseye reached by the arrow.

R is the horizontal distance covered i.e the distance of the target from the archer.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given R = 60ft, U = 250ft/s, g = 32ft/s H = ?

On substitution,

60 = 250\sqrt{\frac{H}{32}} \\\frac{60}{250} = \sqrt{\frac{H}{32}}\\\frac{6}{25} = \sqrt{\frac{H}{32}

Squaring both sides we have;

(\frac{6}{25} )^{2} = (\sqrt{\frac{H}{32} } )^{2} \\\frac{36}{625} =  \frac{H}{32} \\625H = 36*32\\H = \frac{36*32}{625} \\H = 1.84feet

The arrow will hit the target 1.84feet below the bullseye.
