Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 15miles north = 24140.2m

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 4m/s

Unknown:

Speed, velocity and acceleration = ?

Solution:

The speed is the distance divide by time. It is a scalar quantity and has no directional attribute.

  Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}  

  The speed of the student is 4m/s

Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity which specifies the direction and magnitude;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

   The velocity of the student is 4m/s due north

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

     To find the acceleration, we use

      v²  = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

     4² = 0² + 2x a x 24140.2

       a  = \frac{16}{2 x 24140.2}  = 0.00033m/s²

The equation P=20sin(2πt)+40 models blood pressure, P, where t represents time in seconds. Find the blood pressure after 21 seco
yarga [219]

Answer:

<em>a) P(21)=40</em>

<em>b) P max = 60</em>

<em>c) P min = 20</em>

Explanation:

<u>Function Modeling</u>

The blood pressure P is modeled with the equation

P=20sin(2\pi t)+40

Where t is in seconds.

a) We'll find the pressure when t=21 seconds

P(21)=20sin(2\pi \cdot 21)+40

P(21)=40

b) The maximum value will occur when the sine function has a value of 1

P_{max}=20\cdot 1+40=60

c) The minimum pressure will occur when the sine function is at minimum (-1)

P_{min}=20\cdot -1+40=20

This is used by scientists to measure time and events during earth history
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: Scientists used relative dating and absolute dating.

Explanation:

Scientists used absolute dating to determine the actual number of years ago that events happened. They used relative dating to divide Earth's past into several time frames when similar organisms were on Earth.

My name is Ann [436]

-- Mr. Galonski looks at himself in the mirror while he shaves in the morning, using visible light.

-- On his way to work, he listens to music and news, taking advantage of all the radio waves around.

-- While walking from his car to his office, he takes his jacket off and rolls up his sleeves, so his arms can soak up some ultraviolet from the sun, and get a little bit of color.

-- Mister Galonski is actually DOCTOR Galonski DDS ... a dentist. He uses a machine that produces X-rays, to take pictures of his patients' teeth and jaws. He glues the pictures into a big scrap-book that he keeps on the coffee table in his living room.
