Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 20x and 10x

Then by the question,

20x + 10x = 300

or, 30x = 300

or, x = 300/ 30

x = 10

Now the larger number

20x = 20* 10 = 200.

Hope it will help you :)

A ball with mass m kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 28 m/s from the roof of a building 17 m high. Neglect air resistanc

Nutka1998 [239]

a. At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity, so

$-\left(28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2(-g)(y_{\rm max}-17\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies y_{\rm max}=57\,\mathrm m$

b. The ball's height in the air $y$ at time $t$ is given according to

$y=17\,\mathrm m+\left(28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

Solve for $t$ when $y=0$ :

$17+28t-4.9t^2=0\implies t\approx6.3\,\mathrm s$
