Answer:

15.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:1) Find the gravitational potential energy using the equation :

$PE_g=mgh$

$PE_g=2.5(12)(9.8)\\PE_g=294$

2) Then use the equation for kinetic energy to solve for the velocity:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

$294=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(v^2)\\235.2=v^2\\\sqrt{235.2} =v\\15.3 m/s=v$

Hey there :)

The perimeter formula of a trapezium is:
P = a + b + c + d ( adding all sides )

Perimeter is given : P = 17z³ + 60z² + 2z - 5

Part A :

Total lengths of sides 1, 2 and 3 will be just adding the given lengths :
1 → 16z² - 4z + 2
2 → 7z² - 2z + 21
3 → 18z² - 3z + 2

side 1 + side 2 + side 3
( 16z² - 4z + 2 ) + ( 7z² - 2z + 21 ) + ( 18z² - 3z + 2 )

Combine like terms together:

16z² + 7z² + 18z² - 4z - 2z - 3z + 2 +21 + 2
41z² - 9z + 25

Part B:

Length of 4th side will be the total perimeter minus the total length of sides 1, 2 and 3:

( 17z³ + 60z² + 2z - 5 ) - ( 41z² - 9z + 25 )

Combine like terms

17z³ + 60z² - 41z² + 2z + 9z - 5 - 25
17z³ + 19z² + 11z - 30

Part C:

Addition of polynomials result in polynomials as well as subtraction of polynomials result in polynomials.

Therefore, this polynomial is closed under addition and subtraction.

1) Erica bought a car for $24,000. She had to add Pennsylvania's sales tax of 6%. The total price of the car is closest to?

Lina20 [59]

To find the car's total price, add the tax paid to the car's original price.

$32800 + $1968 = $34768

The total cost is $34,768

Use two unit multipliers to convert 600 miles to inches. ( Do not multiply out.)

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

(600 mi) × (5280 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

A "unit multiplier" is a multiplier that has a value of 1. That is, the numerator and denominator have the same value. For units conversion problems, the numerator quantity has the units you want, and the denominator quantity has the units you're trying to cancel.

You have units of miles. You know that ...

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

You want to get to units of inches. With these conversion factors, you can do it in two steps (as the problem requests). The first conversion is from miles to feet using the unit multiplier (5280 feet)/(1 mile). This gives you a number of feet.

Then the second conversion is from feet to inches, so you use the one that lets you put inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator:

(12 inches)/(1 foot)

When you multiplie these all out, units of miles and feet cancel, and you're left with inches.

_____

With the above conversion factors, you can write unit mulipliers of either ...

(5280 ft)/(1 mi) . . . to convert to feet

(1 mi)/(5280 ft) . . . to convert to miles.
