Suppose you see a lightning flash and hear a thunder clap exactly 10 seconds later. The speed of sound is 1080 feet per second and there are 5280 feet in a mile. Estimate, to the nearest half mile, how many miles you are from the lightning flash. Assume the speed of light is infinite.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\approx 2\ miles[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference of 10 seconds between the lightning flash and its thunder clap.

Given that the speed of light is infinite.

So, lightning will be seen at the same time it happens.

10 seconds is the time taken by the sound to reach to the person.

Time taken = 10 seconds

Speed of sound = 1080 ft/sec

To find:

Distance from lightning flash in miles.

Solution:

First of all, let us a have a look at the formula:

[tex]Distance = Speed \times Time[/tex]

Putting the given values:

Distance = [tex]1080\times 10 = 108000\ feet[/tex]

5280 feet = 1 mile

1 feet = [tex]\frac{1}{5280}[/tex] miles

10800 feet = [tex]\frac{1}{5280}\times 10800 \approx 2\ miles[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the domain is the span of x-values covered by the graph, while the range is the span of y-values covered by the graph.

From the graph, we can see that the span of x-values covered goes from x=-2 to x=1.

However, note that while at x=-2, the dot is closed, while at x=1, the dot is open. This means that we do not include the point at x=1. Therefore, the domain is all values of x between x=-2 and x=1 not including x=1.

In set notation, this is:

[tex]\{x|-2\leq x<1\}[/tex]

Thus, the domain is all values greater than or equal to -2 but less than 1.

For the range, we can see that the graph spans from y=-4 to y=2. Again, at y=2, the dot is open. Thus, we do not include y=2 in our range.

In set notation, this is:

[tex]\{y|-4\leq y<2\}[/tex]

This is interpreted as all y-values greater than or equal to -4 but less than 2.

The answer is B

2. [tex]b = 3[/tex]

3. [tex]n = 6[/tex]

4. [tex]b = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m going to assume the equations are as following - you made it a bit hard to read.

[tex]x - 7 = 0[/tex]

[tex]-15 = b - 18[/tex]

[tex]4 = n-2[/tex]

Colleen is touring an automobile plant. The tour guide tells her that they use 938 kg of aluminum to make 7 cars. All of the cars are the same so they use the same amount of aluminum for each car. If they have only used 100 kg of aluminum on the car they are building right now, how much more aluminum do they need to finish the car?

Answers

Answer:

34 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

(938/7) = 134 kg per car, so since they only have 100 kg, 34 kg are missing to complete the car.

A medical researcher measures the increase in heart rate of patients under a stress test. What kind of variable is the researcher studying?

The options in this question are not given; here is the complete question:

A medical researcher measures the increase in heart rate of patients under a stress test. What kind of variable is the researcher studying?

A. Identifier

B. Categorical

C. Quantitative

D. Qualitative

The answer to this question is C. Quantitative

Explanation:

In research, a quantitative variable refers to a variable or factor that involves using numbers, percentages, and in general, quantities to be understood. Moreover, this is the opposite of qualitative variables that involve using qualities. The medical research described includes a quantitative variable because heart rate can only be measured and understood through numbers. Also, other types of variables such as qualitative or categorical are not involved because these are related to qualities rather than numbers.

What is the total area, in square inches, of the figure shown below?

Answers

Answer:

264 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given can be divided into 5 parts as shown in the attachment below, and it would consists of the following with their dimensions:

2 triangles of the same dimensions labelled 1 and 2:

Base (b) = 16 in

Height (h) = 10 in

Area = 2*½*b*h = 2*½*16*10 = 160 in²

2 rectangles of the same dimensions labelled 4 and 5:

length (l) = 5 in

width (w) = 4 in

Area = 2(l*b) = 2(20) = 40 in²

1 rectangle labelled 3:

length (l) = 16 in

width (w) = 4 in

Area = l*w = 16*4 = 64 in²

Total area of the figure = 160 + 40 + 64 = 264 in²

4 7/9 divided by 1 7/12

Answers

Answer:

2 19/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 7/9 ÷ 1 7/12

start by turning them into improper fraction by multiplying the denominator to the whole number and adding the product to the numerator , you will get :

42/9 ÷ 17/12

42/9 * 12/17 ( reciprocal )

42/3 * 4/17 (9 and 12 can be cut smaller because both are in 3's table)

= 172/51

turn this into mixed fraction by -

Divide the numerator by the denominator.

Write down the whole number answer

Then write down any remainder above the denominator

you will get = 2 19/5

4 7/9 divided by 1 7/12 will be 3 1/57.

The first thing to do is to change the mixed fraction to improper fraction and this will be:

= 4 7/9 ÷ 1 7/12

= 43/9 ÷ 19/12

Then we change the division sign to multiplication and this will be:

= 43/9 × 12/19

We then reduce to lowest term

= 43/9 × 12/19

= 43/3 × 4/19

= 172/57

= 3 1/57

In conclusion, 4 7/9 divided by 1 7/12 is 3 1/57.

What is the justification for 2y-40=-18 A the multiplication property of equality B the subtraction property C the division property D the addition property

Answers

Answer:

Addition and Division property

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition property is used in an equation when the same value is added to both sides of the equation to simplify such equation.

Given the equation 2y-40=-18 to simplify the equation further we need to first add 40 to both sides of the equation thereby justifying the addition property as shown;

2y-40 + 40 =-18+40

2y = 40-18

2y = 22

We will also apply the division property here. Division property is used when both sides of an equation is divided by a number without affecting the equality rule.

Dividing the resulting equation by 2:

2y/2 = 22/2

y = 11

Hence the justification for the equation 2y-40=-18 are both adition and division property.

solve the following equation show your work -1/2w - 3/5 = 1/5w

Answers

Answer:

w = (-6)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for w:

-w/2 - 3/5 = w/5

Hint: | Put the fractions in -w/2 - 3/5 over a common denominator.

Put each term in -w/2 - 3/5 over the common denominator 10: -w/2 - 3/5 = (-5 w)/10 - 6/10:

(-5 w)/10 - 6/10 = w/5

Hint: | Combine (-5 w)/10 - 6/10 into a single fraction.

(-5 w)/10 - 6/10 = (-5 w - 6)/10:

(-5 w - 6)/10 = w/5

Hint: | Make (-5 w - 6)/10 = w/5 simpler by multiplying both sides by a constant.

Multiply both sides by 10:

(10 (-5 w - 6))/10 = 2 w

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (10 (-5 w - 6))/10.

(10 (-5 w - 6))/10 = 10/10×(-5 w - 6) = -5 w - 6:

-5 w - 6 = (10 w)/5

Hint: | In (10 w)/5, divide 10 in the numerator by 5 in the denominator.

10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:

-5 w - 6 = 2 w

Hint: | Move terms with w to the left hand side.

Subtract 2 w from both sides:

(-5 w - 2 w) - 6 = 2 w - 2 w

Hint: | Combine like terms in -5 w - 2 w.

-5 w - 2 w = -7 w:

-7 w - 6 = 2 w - 2 w

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

2 w - 2 w = 0:

-7 w - 6 = 0

Hint: | Isolate terms with w to the left hand side.

Add 6 to both sides:

(6 - 6) - 7 w = 6

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

6 - 6 = 0:

-7 w = 6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -7 w = 6 by -7:

(-7 w)/(-7) = 6/(-7)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-7)/(-7) = 1:

w = 6/(-7)

Hint: | Simplify the sign of 6/(-7).

Multiply numerator and denominator of 6/(-7) by -1:

Answer: w = (-6)/7

Answer:

-5/10w - 3/5 = 2/10w

- 3/5 = 7/10w

-30 = 35w

-30/35 = w

-6/7 = w

When multiplying exponents with the same base, we can use the following property:

[tex]x^ax^b=x^{a+b}[/tex]

Essentially, we add the exponents together.

So, first group them:

[tex]=(4^24^3)(7^57^2)[/tex]

Use the property:

[tex]=4^{2+3}7^{5+2}[/tex]

And so our answer is:

[tex]=4^57^7[/tex]

So, Annabelle's answer is correct.

Navene incorrectly used the property. The property adds the exponents, it doesn't multiply them.

So, only Annabelle is correct.

And that's our answer :)

This project should take you between one and two hours. This is a two-part project. The first part will support your ability to find and use information. The second part will help you to develop professional communications skills. You will find potential mentors in the professional area that interests you. To do that, you will need to use your research skills to locate at least three potential names and addresses of a professional in your field (physical address or e-mail address is OK). Potential research starting points: Yellow Pages; Web site of a college or university; related department at a nearby college or university; the professional association associated with your chosen career; the professional association is a group of professionals in the field who form an organization that loosely governs the career; internet search engine research (stay local, try your city + the profession as your search term); local librarian; librarian chat service; and local business organizations, such as Main Street Associations. Once you've found the mailing/e-mail address of three potential mentors, you'll need to craft a letter of introduction that also asks about the possibility of establishing a mentor relationship. Your letter should include: formal set up (addresses, date, etc.); brief introduction of yourself. (Do not give out personal information! Instead, keep the introduction focused on your current academics, this course, the career you are considering, and why.) how you found the mentor's name; request to establish a mentor relationship; your understanding of what a mentor relationship would entail. (Can I ask you questions via e-mail? Could we arrange a visit to your place of business someday?) at least two or three general, preliminary questions about the career.
