Answer:

Pounds for cashew- 20.96

Pounds for Brazilian nut- 11.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the pounds of cashew

Let b ne the pound of Brazilian but

32×6.24

= 199.68

7.1c + 4.60b= 199.68.......equation 1

c + b= 32..........equation 2

From equation 2

c= 32-b

Sub 32-b for c in equation 1

7.1(32-b) + 4.60b= 199.68

227.3-7.1b+4.60b, = 199.68

227.3-2.5b= 199.68

-2.5b= 199.69-227.3

- 2.5b= -27.61

b= 27.61/2.5

b= 11.04

Sub 11.04 for b in equation 2

c+b= 32

c + 11.04= 32

c= 32-11.04

c= 20.96

Describe the differences between a parabola that has a horizontal directrix and a parabola that has a vertical directrix.
Readme [11.4K]
 <span>A parabola that has a horizontal directrix is a parabola that opens up or down. 

Here are some of its components: 
1) Standard equation of a parabola with a horizontal directrix: (x-h)^2 = 4a(y-k), 
a = distance from vertex to focus 
2) Vertex at (h,k) 
3) Focus(h,k+a) 
4) Directrix: y = k-a 
5) Axis of symmetry: x = h 

A parabola that has a vertical directrix opens to the right or left and is on its side. 

Here are some components 
1) Standard equation of a parabola with a vertical directrix: (y-k)^2 = 4a(x-h) 
2) vertex (h,k) 
3) focus (h+a,k) 
4) directrix: x = h-a 
5) Axis of symmetry: y = k

Hopes this helps :)</span>

If a 200 N net force acts on a 500 grams car, what will the acceleration of the car be? ​
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be found using Newton second law:

F = ma

Where:

F: is the net force = 200 N

m: is the mass = 500 g

a: is the acceleration =?

Then, the acceleration will be:

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{200 N}{500 g*\frac{1 kg}{1000 g}} = 400 m/s^{2}  

Therefore, the acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

goblinko [34]
We are given
v = 18 m/hr west
θ1 = 285°
θ2 = 340°

After 1 hours, the distance traveled by the ship is
dv = 18 mi

The distance between the ship and the lighthouse is
d = 18 / cos 340
