Answer:

  • A - 16, B - 79, C - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • A costs 5$
  • B costs  $0.25
  • C costs $0.05
  • A + B + C = 100
  • 5A + 0.25B + 0.05C = 100 ⇒ 100A + 5B + C = 2000

<u>Subtract the first equation from the second:</u>

  • 99A + 4B = 1900

<u>We have a restriction in numbers:</u>

  • 0 < A, B, C < 100

<u>Since 4B can be max 400, we get 99A > 1500  and 99A < 1900 so:</u>

  • A > 1500/99 > 15

and

  • A < 1900/99 < 19

A can be 16 or 18 as it should be even number to get B the whole number.

<u>If A = 16:</u>

  • 99*16 + 4B = 1900
  • 4B = 1900 - 1584
  • 4B = 316
  • B = 316/4 = 79

<u>If A = 18:</u>

  • 99*18 + 4B = 1900
  • 4B = 1900 - 1782
  • 4B = 118
  • B = 118/4 = 29.5, discarded as decimal

<u>So we get:</u>

  • A = 16, B = 79 and C = 100 - (16 + 79) = 5

<u>Let's proof the numbers:</u>

  • 16*5 + 79*0.25 + 5*0.05 = 100, confirmed

A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of v0x = 5320 m/s along the +x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 739
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The velocities after 739 s of firing of each engine would be 6642.81 m/s in the x direction and 5306.02 in the y direction

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. For a constant acceleration: v_{f}=v_{0}+at, where  v_{f} is the final velocity in a direction after the acceleration is applied, v_{0} is the initial velocity in that direction  before the acceleration is applied, a is the acceleration applied in such direction, and t is the amount of time during where that acceleration was applied.
  2. <em>Then for the x direction</em> it is known that the initial velocity is v_{0x} = 5320 m/s, the acceleration (the applied by the engine) in x direction is a_{x} 1.79 m/s2 and, the time during the acceleration was applied (the time during the engines were fired) of the  is 739 s. Then: v_{fx}=v_{0x}+a_{x}t=5320\frac{m}{s} +1.79\frac{m}{s^{2} }*739s=6642.81\frac{m}{s}
  3. In the same fashion, <em>for the y direction</em>, the initial velocity is  v_{0y} = 0 m/s, the acceleration in y direction is a_{y} 7.18 m/s2, and the time is the same that in the x direction, 739 s, then for the final velocity in the y direction: v_{fy}=v_{0y}+a_{y}t=0\frac{m}{s} +7.18\frac{m}{s^{2} }*739s=5306.02\frac{m}{s}

The radius of a size 5 soccer ball is approximately 11.5 cm. How many square inches of synthetic leather does it
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

1661.06 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 11.5 cm

Size of synthetic leather needed =?

To know how many square centimetres of synthetic leather needed to cover the ball, we shall determine the area of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) = 11.5 cm

Pi (π) = 3.14

Area of ball =?

The shape of a ball is spherical in nature. Thus, we shall apply the formula for calculating the area of a sphere. This is illustrated below:

A = 4πr²

A = 4 × 3.14 × 11.5²

A = 4× 3.14 × 132.25

A = 1661.06 cm²

Thus, 1661.06 cm² of synthetic leather needed to cover the ball.

Which of these debts could possibly be forgiven under Chapter 7 bankruptcy? A. Credit Card Debt B. Child Support C. Alimony D. A
a_sh-v [17]
Chapter 7 - Bankruptcy is a very beneficial means for those facing severe financial uncertainty or debts. And even though it cannot remove all your liability, it can help you eliminate a number of arrears so you can begin working to reestablish your credit score. These are the debts which are not forgiven in Chapter 7: student loans, child support, alimony payments, majority of taxes you owe and secured or collateral debts.

So the answer is A. Credit Card. A credit card debt can be forgiven under chapter 7 because it is the main reason why people file for bankruptcy just to discharge their credit card balance.
