A diet is to contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, 1800mg Calcium, and 1200 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and

a vegan option are to fulfill these requirements. Each ounce of the dairy-based meal provides 50 mg vitamin C, 30 mg Calcium, and 10 calories. Each ounce of the vegan option provides 20 mg vitamin C, 20 mg Calcium, and 40 calories. If the dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce, how many ounces of each food should be purchased to minimize costs? What is that minimum cost (per day)?

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounce of dairy based meal and let y represent the number of vegan option in ounce.

Since the diet must contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, therefore:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

Since the diet must contain at least 1800 mg Calcium, therefore:

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

Since the diet must contain at least 1200 calories, therefore:

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

Therefore the constraints are:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

x > 0, y > 0

The graph was drawn using geogebra online graphing tool, and the solution to the problem is at:

C(30, 45) and D(48, 18)

dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce. The cost equation is:

Cost = 0.042x + 0.208y

At C(30, 45); Cost = 0.042(30) + 0.208(45) = $10.62

At C(48, 18); Cost = 0.042(48) + 0.208(18) = $5.76

The minimum cost is at (48, 18). That is 48 dairy based meal and 18 vegan

A spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, where x=0 is the equilibrium position of the spring. It is then compressed from x=0 to x=

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta x)^2$

where

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretch/compression of the spring

In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

$\Delta x = d-0=d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k d^2$

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

$\Delta x = -d -0 = -d$

and the amount of energy required is

$U=\frac{1}{2}k (-d)^2= \frac{1}{2}kd^2$

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.

A negative charge of 20 x 10-6C and another charge of 15 x 10-6C are separated by as distance of 0.7 m.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Approximately $5.5\; \rm N$ , assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, $q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ and $q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ .

Let $r$ denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, $r = 0.7\; \rm m$ .

Let $k$ denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, $k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

how will resistance change when the voltage increases in an electric circuit if the current remains constant

Yakvenalex [24]

V=IR
Potential Difference (v)= Current (A) * Resistance (Ω)
As V increases, R also increases.

For sprinters running at 12 m/s around a curved track of radius 26 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total fo

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

114.86%

Explanation:

In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:

Fy = mg

When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:

Fx = mv²/r

The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:

F² = Fx² + Fy²

F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²

F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)

F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)

Compared to just the vertical force:

F / Fy

m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg

√((v²/r)² + g²) / g

Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8

1.1486

The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).
