Answer:

a = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute the 3 to the 1/3a and the 3 in the parentheses.

3 times 1/3 a equals a because 1/3 times 3 equals 3/3 or 1. so 1a equals a.

so now the equation reads (a + 3) =27

now subtract 3 from both sides of the equation and you are left with a = 24

What is the depth and volume of this rectangular prism in cubes and cubic inches?

Inessa05 [86]

Height = 3 cubes
Width = 5 cubes
Depth = 4 cubes

Number of Cubes = 3*4*5 = 60

Each cube is .2 inches on each side

So, it's volume = 1 * .6 * .8 = .48 cubic inches

Double - Check
Each cube is .2*.2*.2 = 0.008 cubic inches
There are 60 cubes so the volume =
60 * .008 = .48 cubic inches CORRECT !!

To test the impact performance of a 10 cm thick gymnastics mat, a 20 kg cylindrical

denis23 [38]

Answer:

A)196J

B)-208J

C)3467J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a 20 kg cylindrical mass is dropped onto the mat from a height of 1 m above the mat. During the impact, the cylinder’s vertical velocity reaches zero at the instant the mat has compressed to only 4 cm thick.

So, The Mat gets compressed by : 10cm - 4 cm = 6 cm=0.06 m

Using Conservations of energy

Potential energy at the top = Kinetic energy at the point before touching the surface

Kinetic energy = mgh= $20 \times 9.8 \times 1 = 196 J$
