Answer:

12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the heights of the plants be y

and the number of weeks be x

Plant A

y=3x+8.5--------------1

Plant B

y=2.5x+14.5----------2

Required

The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height

,equate the two expressions above

3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5

3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5

0.5x= 6

divide both sides by 0.5

x= 6/0.5

x= 12 weeks

You are a traffic accident investigator. You have arrived at the scene of an accident. Two trucks of equal mass (3,000 kg each)
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

1) Kinetic energy of the truck 1 is 600,000 joules.

Kinetic energy of the truck 2 is 1,837,500 joules.

2 a)Potential energy of truck 1 is 646,800 Joules.

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the truck 1 and truck 2,m = 3000 kg

Velocity of the truck 1, v_1 = = 20 m./s

Velocity of the truck 2,v_2 = 35 m./s

1. Kinetic energy of the truck 1:\frac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 3000 kg\times (20 m/s)^=600,000 joules

Kinetic energy of the truck 2:\frac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 3000 kg\times (35 m/s)^=1,837,500 joules

2.a) Energy loose by the truck 1:

Initial height of the truck on the hill = 22 m

At that height potential energy will be maximum:

Potential energy of truck 1 at that height = mgh=3000\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 22 m=646,800 Joules

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a1 = −10 and d = 3.
Neko [114]

notice the first term is -10, and the common difference is 3, so we add 3 to get the next term.

\bf \begin{array}{cccll}\stackrel{x}{n}&term&\stackrel{y}{value}\\\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\1&a_1&-10\\\\2&a_2&\stackrel{-10+3}{-7}\\\\3&a_3&\stackrel{-7+3}{-4}\\\\4&a_4&\stackrel{-4+3}{-1}\\\\5&a_5&\stackrel{-1+3}{2}\\\\6&a_6&\stackrel{2+3}{5}\end{array}

a club is holding a raffle. Ten thousand tickets have been sold for $2 each. There will be a 1st prize of $3000, 3 second prizes
seropon [69]

Answer:

1000(1/20000) +

300(2/20000) +

10(20/20000) +

=

1800/20000 = .09

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ticket purchased is expected to win 9 cents

Each ticket purchased cost 75 cents

If you interpret expected winnings per ticket to include the cost then each ticket is expected to lose 66 cents.
