your question is missing the given conditions, here is the complete question;

Two machines, A and B, each working at a constant rate, can complete a certain task working together in 6 days. In how many days, working alone, can machine A complete the task?

(1) The average time A and B can complete the task working alone is 12.5 days.

(2) It would take machine A 5 more days to complete the task alone than it would take machine B to complete the task

Answer:

Machine A, working alone, can complete the task in 15 days.

Explanation:

As the average is given as 12.5 so,

A+B=2*12.5

A+ B=25

second condition says machine A takes 5 more days to complete the task alone than B so

A=B+5........Eq1

Now from the question statement we can get that

1/A+1/B=1/6, where A is time needed for A to do the task alone and B is the time needed for B to complete the task alone

thus, simplyfing above equation we get as

AB/A+B=6; \\ putting A+B=25 we get

AB/25=6

AB=6*25

AB=150; \\ putting Eq1 we get

(B+5)B=150

B^2+5B-150=0

simplifying the quadratic equation above we get B=10

putting B=10 in Eq1, we get

A+10=25

A=15

Thus, Machine A, working alone, can complete the task in 15 days.

The function​ s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line. Suppose s (2 )equals 146and s (6 )equals
sineoko [7]

Answer:

v(t) = 27 units

Explanation:

The function s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line such that,

s(2)=146

and

s(6)=254

We need to find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6]. The velocity of the object is equal to the total distance divided by time. It is given by :

v(t)=\dfrac{s(6)-s(2)}{6-2}

v(t)=\dfrac{254-146}{6-2}

v(t) = 27 units

So, the  average velocity of the object is 27 units. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does gravity affect the velocity of falling objects?
sladkih [1.3K]

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton
