The direct variation between x and y may be written as,
y = kx
where k is the constant of variation. From the first set of values of the variables,
12 = k(8)
the value of k is 1.5. Substituting the next set to the same equation,
y = 1.5(14)
The value of y is 21.
Answer:
x = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From your last step:
6.8x + 9.3 = -2.6 - 17x
We have two terms with x in them on different sides of the equation, so we want to bring the 'x terms' over to the same side.
Add 17x to both sides of the equation.
6.8x + 17x + 9.3 = -2.6
Collect like terms
23.8x + 9.3 = -2.6
Subtract 9.3 from both sides
23.8x = -2.6 - 9.3
23.8x = -11.9
Divide both sides by 23.8
x = -0.5
Answer:
(a) 129600 J
(b) 81000 J
Step-by-step explanation:
The work done is given by the product of force and the displacement in the direction of force.
Force, F = 500 N
distance, d = 324 m
(a) friction force, f = 100 N
The work done is
W = (F - f) x d
W = (500 - 100) x 324
W = 129600 J
(b) Friction, f = 250 N
The work done is
W = (F - f) d
W = (500 - 250) x 324
W = 81000 J
