Answer: 1 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jamie speed is 15 m/s

Erika speed is 10 m/s

Erika has a 5 m head start

For Jamie to catch Erika, Jamie must travel 5 m + the distance traveled by Erika in the same time t

After 1 s, Jamie and erika meet at the same point.

Answer: 1 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jamie speed is 15 m/s

Erika speed is 10 m/s

Erika has a 5 m head start

For Jamie to catch Erika, Jamie must travel 5 m + the distance traveled by Erika in the same time t

\therefore 15t=5+10t\\\Rightarrow15t-10t=5\\\Rightarrow 5t=5\\\Rightarrow t=1\ s

After 1 s, Jamie and erika meet at the same point.

One earthquake has MMS magnitude 3.9. If a second earthquake has 120 times as much energy (earth movement) as the first, find th
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The right answer is "5.9". A further solving is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Initial Magnitude,

M₁ = 3.9

Let Second magnitude be M₂.

Now,

⇒  M_2-M_1=log(\frac{l_2}{l_1} )

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9 = log (120)

On putting the value of "log 120", we get

⇒  M_2-3.9=2.079

On adding "3.9" both sides, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9+3.9=2.079+3.9

⇒                    M_2=5.9

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed, with mean ? = 50 and standard deviation ? = 7. Compute the following
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  the random variable X is normally distributed, with

mean  = 50 and standard deviation  = 7.

Then we have z= \frac{x-50}{7} is N(0,1)

Using this and normal table we find that

a) P(56

b) When z=0.02

we get

x=50+0.02(7)=50.14

c) 90th percentile z value =1.645

90th percentile of X =50+7(1.645)\\= 50+11.515\\=61.515

Josue leans a 26-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an
postnew [5]

Answer:

25.61 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.

Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.

One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have

sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet

multiply both sides by 26 feet

sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite

= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches
