The measured length is 250 ft. The actual length is 246.9 ft. Find the percent error.

1 answer:

7 0

Percent error = 1.2556%

Steps:
Percent Error =
Vobserved - Vtrue
Vtrue
=
250 - 246.9
246.9
=
3.1
246.9
= 1.2555690562981%

Dwayne drove 18 miles to the airport to pick up his father and then returned home. On the return trip he was able to drive an av

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)

Using: distance = speed x time

$\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

$\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v} \ \ \textsf{and} \ \ t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}$

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

$\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1$

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)$

$\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v$

$\implies v^2-21v-270=0$

$\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0$

$\implies v=30, v=-9$

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)

Which of the following provides an object with rotational symmetry?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: Choice C) Star shaped symbol

We can rotate the star symbol 90 degrees to have it line up with its original image. The before and after images would be identical after doing such a rotation. So this figure has rotational symmetry.

The other figures would change if we rotated them some angle x such that $0 < x < 360$ , so they do not have rotational symmetry.
