A two-dimensional vector has an x-component of 10.3~\text{meters}10.3 meters and a y-component of 4.30~\text{meters}4.30 meters.

Calculate the angle (in degrees) that this two-dimensional vector makes with the positive x-axis.

Answer:

23°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle a vector makes relative to the +x axis is found as ...

α = arctan(y/x) = arctan(4.30/10.3) ≈ 22.66°

The angle is about 23°.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

This vector resides in the first quadrant, so no adjustment of the angle is needed. In other quadrants, 180° may need to be added or subtracted from the angle given by the arctan function to arrive at the correct value. (Some calculators and spreadsheets have an ATAN2(x, y) function that takes signs into account.)

Three friends Kofi,Yaw and Musa are in partnership business in which Kofi and Yaw contributed 5/9 and 2/15 of the cost of 14000.

Answer:

(a) $Total = 45000$

(b) Yaw, Musa and Kofi

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Kofi =5/9$

$Yaw = 2/15$

$Musa = 14000$

Solving (a): The cost of the business

First, we solve for the fraction of Musa

$Musa + Kofi + Yaw = 1$

$Musa = 1 - (Kofi + Yaw )$

$Musa = 1 - (5/9 + 2/15)$

$Musa = 1 - (\frac{25+6}{45})$

$Musa = 1 - \frac{31}{45}$

$Musa = \frac{45 - 31}{45}$

$Musa = \frac{14}{45}$

So, we have:

$\frac{14}{45} * Total = 14000$

Make Total the subject

$Total = 14000 * \frac{45}{14}$

$Total = 1000 * 45$

$Total = 45000$

Solving (b): Partners in ascending order

First, represent the fractions as decimals

$Kofi =5/9$ $= 0.5556$

$Yaw = 2/15$ $= 0.1333$

$Musa = \frac{14}{45}$ $= 0.3111$

From the conversion above, the least is 0.1333 (Yaw), then 0.3111 (Musa), then 0.5556 (Kofi).

<em>So, the order is: Yaw, Musa and Kofi</em>

At a NASCAR racetrack, the distance per lap is 2 miles. Lou Lambert drives his car at a constant rate of 160 miles per hour. Ral

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

<em>24 minutes</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance per lap = 2 miles

Speed of Lou Lambert = 160 miles/hr

Speed of Ralph Redding = 170 miles/hr

Speed difference between the two = 170 - 160 = 10 miles/hr

Therefore, we can say that <em>Ralph gains 10 miles in 60 minutes </em>over Lou<em>.</em>

We have to find the time in which Ralph will gain 2 laps i.e. 2 $\times$ 2 = 4 miles.

Let us use unitary method to find the required time.

10 miles are gained by Ralph in 60 minutes

1 mile will be gained in $\frac{60}{10} = 6\ minutes$

4 miles will be gained in 6 $\times$ 4 = <em>24 minutes</em>

A leading bank is coming up with an investment that pays 8 percent interest compounded semiannually. What is the investment's ef

uranmaximum [27]

The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
$r = {(1 + \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1$
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
$r = {(1 + \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = {(1 + \frac{1}{25}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = \frac{676}{625} - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%$
