Answer:

b. 45 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the forces exerted by the two miners = 25 + 20

                                           = 45 N

Since after applying a force of 45 N by the two miners the cart remained stationary, it implies that a resistance force of at least 45 N acts against their push. Thus, the force exerted by the road could be equal to 45 N or greater than 45 N.

Probably, if the sum of the forces applied is 46 N, the cart would move. Which depends on the value of resistance force applied by the road. Thus, the appropriate answer from the given option is B.

Since the force applied on the cart equals the resistance force exerted by the road, the cart would not move.

Function k is a linear function with a slope of 1/2 that passes through the point (4,2). What equation represents Function K?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

A. y = 1/2 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of a linear (straight line) function:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = 1/2, x1 = 4 and y1 = 2, so:

y - 2 = 1/2(x - 4)

y = 1/2x - 2 + 2

y = 1/2 x (answer)

The sum of three consecutive integers is 312
sdas [7]

Let x be for unknown number. Let x be first number . X+1 To be second number .x+2be third number.  X+(x+1)+(x+2)=312. Simplify to get 3x+3=312 . Subtract 3 from both sides 3x-3=312-3. Once you subtract get 3x=109.then divide 3 both sides . 3x/3=309/3. To get x= 103.   Now once you have that  First number 103. Second number 103+1=104 . And third number 103+2=105.    To check add them 103+104+105=312

Women's heights average 65 inches with a standard deviation of 2.2 inches in a certain study. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to determi
vodomira [7]

• We are told that the average height : Mean () = 65

,

• Standard deviation : SD () = 2.2

• 95 % 0f women height range = +- 3

= 65 +-3( 2.2)

= {65 + 6.6 ; 65 -6.6}

= {71.6 ; 58.4}

• This means that 95 % 0f women height will range between ( 58.4 ) and (71.6 )
