Two miners are trying to push a stationary mine cart filled with gold. Miner A is exerting 25 N while miner B is exerting 20 N.

However it is observed that the mine cart remained stationary despite their push. How much force does the road exert on the wheel of the cart?
a. 25 N

b. 45 N

c. Less than

45 N d. More than 25 N​

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.

For the cost function, find the marginal cost at the given production level x. State the units of measurement. (All costs are in
baherus [9]

Answer:

The marginal cost at the given production level is $49.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal cost function is expressed as the first derivative of the total cost function with respect to quantity (x).

We have that the cost function is given by

C(x) = 15000 + 50x + \frac{1000}{x}

So, we need the derivative and then we’ll need to compute the value x = 100 of the derivative.

C'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(15000+50x+\frac{1000}{x}\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\C'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(15000\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(50x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1000}{x}\right)\\\\C'(x)=0+50-\frac{1000}{x^2}\\\\C'(x)=50-\frac{1000}{x^2}

When x = 100, the marginal cost is

C'(100)=-\frac{1000}{100^2}+50\\\\C'(100)=\frac{499}{10}=49.9

The Ratio of two numbers is 3/5, and their sum is 104. What are the 2 numbers?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

39 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the two numbers is 3 : 5

sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 5 = 8 parts

divide the sum by 8 to find the value of one part of the ratio

104 ÷ 8 = 13 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

3 parts = 3 × 13 = 39

5 parts = 5 × 13 = 65

the two numbers are 39 and 65
