C, planes are more likely to take off on time. .72 as a percent is 72%. Hence, a relatively high probability that the planes will take of on time.
Answer:
17.9 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the slick = 0.5 x π r² h--------------------------------- (1)
Where r = radius of slick
h = thickness of slick, 10⁻⁶m
If 0.5m³ of oil leaked, then the radius of the semicircular slick can be calculated from equation (1)
V = 0.5 x π r² h
0.5= 0.5 x π x r² x 10⁻⁶
r² = 10⁶/ π
r = 10³/√π
dV/dt = πrh dr/dt + 0.5π r² dh/dt----------------------------------- (2)
Asumming the film thickness is constant , equation (2) becomes
dV/dt = πrh dr/dt-------------------------------- (3)
dV/dt = 0.1m³/day
r= 10³/√π
dr/dt= rate of expansion of the slick
Substituting into (3);
0.1 = π x 10³/√π x 10⁻⁶ x dr/dt
dr/dt = 0.1 x 10⁶/ ( π x 10³/√π)
= 17.9479 m/s
≅ 17.9 m/s
In the order of operation, multiplying or dividing don't take preference over the other. So with them, you work from left to right.
This means for this question, you first divide, then multiply.
