Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shopkeeper purchased 60 pencil boxes for 4,500, he purchased them at the rate of:

= 4500 / 60

= 85 per pencil box

If the shopkeeper sold them at the rate of 4,125 for 50 pencil boxes, then he sold them at the rate of:

= 4125 / 50

= 82.50 per pencil box.

Therefore the percentage profit will be:

= Gain / Cost price × 100

= (82.50 - 75) / 75 × 100

= 7.5/75 × 100

= 10%

A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 250 above the horizontal, and with an initial speed of 15 m/s

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

(a) 25.08 m

(b) 2.05 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building be 'h'.

Given:

Angle of projection is, $\theta=25$ °

Initial speed is, $u=15\ m/s$

Time of flight is, $t=3.0\ s$

(a)

Consider the vertical motion of the brick.

Vertical component of initial velocity is given as:

$u_y=u\sin\theta\\\\u_y=15\sin(25)=6.34\ m/s$

Vertical displacement of the brick is equal to the height of the building.

So, vertical displacement = $-h$ (Negative sign implies downward motion)

Acceleration is due to gravity in the downward direction. So,

Acceleration is, $g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, using the following equation of motion;

$-h=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-h=6.34(3)-\frac{9.8}{2}(3)^2\\\\-h=19.02-44.1\\\\-h=-25.08\\\\h=25.08\ m$

Therefore, the building is 25.08 m tall.

(b)

Let the maximum height be 'H'.

At maximum height, the vertical component of velocity is 0 as the brick stops temporarily in the vertical direction.

So, $v_y=0\ m/s$

Now, using the following equation of motion, we have:

$v_y^2=u_y^2+2gH\\\\0=(6.34)^2-2\times 9.8\times H\\\\19.6H=40.2\\\\H=\frac{40.2}{19.6}=2.05\ m$

Therefore, the maximum height of the brick is 2.05 m.
