La fuerza necesaria para evitar que un auto derrape en una curva varía inversamente al radio de la curva y conjuntamente con el peso del auto y el cuadrado de la velocidad del mismo. Supongamos que 400 libras de fuerza evitan que un auto que pesa 1600 libras derrape en una curva cuyo radio mide 800 si viaja a 50mph. ¿Cuánta fuerza evitaría que el mismo auto derrapara en una curva cuyo radio mide 600 si viaja a 60mph ?
Answer:
768 libras de fuerza
Step-by-step explanation:
Tenemos que encontrar la ecuación que los relacione.
F = Fuerza necesaria para evitar que el automóvil patine
r = radio de la curva
w = peso del coche
s = velocidad de los coches
En la pregunta se nos dice:
La fuerza requerida para evitar que un automóvil patine alrededor de una curva varía inversamente con el radio de la curva.
F ∝ 1 / r
Y luego con el peso del auto
F ∝ w
Y el cuadrado de la velocidad del coche
F ∝ s²
Combinando las tres variaciones juntas,
F ∝ 1 / r ∝ w ∝ s²
k = constante de proporcionalidad, por tanto:
F = k × w × s² / r
F = kws² / r
Paso 1
Encuentra k
En la pregunta, se nos dice:
Suponga que 400 libras de fuerza evitan que un automóvil de 1600 libras patine alrededor de una curva con un radio de 800 si viaja a 50 mph.
F = 400 libras
w = 1600 libras
r = 800
s = 50 mph
Tenga en cuenta que desde el
F = kws² / r
400 = k × 1600 × 50² / 800
400 = k × 5000
k = 400/5000
k = 2/25
Paso 2
¿Cuánta fuerza evitaría que el mismo automóvil patinara en una curva con un radio de 600 si viaja a 60 mph?
F = ?? libras
w = ya que es el mismo carro = 1600 libras
r = 600
s = 60 mph
F = kws² / r
k = 2/25
F = 2/25 × 1600 × 60² / 600
F = 768 libras
Por lo tanto, la cantidad de fuerza que evitaría que el mismo automóvil patine en una curva con un radio de 600 si viaja a 60 mph es de 768 libras.

Answer: [tex]y-1=\dfrac32(x+3)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a line passes through (a,b) and (c,d) = [tex]\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}[/tex]
In graph(below) given line is passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) .
Slope of the given line passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) =[tex]\dfrac{-4-2}{-2-2}=\dfrac{-6}{-4}=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
Since parallel lines have equal slope . That means slope of the required line would be .
Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and has slope m is given by :_
(y-b)=m(x-a)
Then, Equation of a line passing through(-3, 1) and has slope = is given by
[tex](y-1)=\dfrac32(x-(-3))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=\dfrac32(x+3)[/tex]
Required equation: [tex]y-1=\dfrac32(x+3)[/tex]

How much is x 2 − 2xy + 3y 2 less than 2x 2 − 3y 2 + xy?
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
(11)
Subtract the sum of (13x - 4y + 7z) and (- 6z + 6x + 3y) from the sum of (6x - 4y - 4z) and (2x + 4y - 7z).
[tex][(6x - 4y - 4z) +(2x + 4y - 7z)]-[(13x - 4y + 7z) + (- 6z + 6x + 3y) ]\\=[6x-4y-4z+2x+4y-7z]-[13x-4y+7z-6z+6x+3y]\\=6x-4y-4z+2x+4y-7z-13x+4y-7z+6z-6x-3y\\=(6x+2x-13x-6x)+(4y-4y+4y-3y)-(4z+7z+7z-6z)\\=-11x+y-12z[/tex]
Thus, the final expression is (-11x + y - 12z).
(12)
From the sum of (x² + 3y² - 6xy), (2x² - y² + 8xy), (y² + 8) and (x² - 3xy) subtract (-3x² + 4y² - xy + x - y + 3).
[tex][(x^{2} + 3y^{2} - 6xy)+(2x^{2} - y^{2} + 8xy)+(y^{2} + 8)+(x^{2} - 3xy)] - [-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=[x^{2} + 3y^{2} - 6xy+2x^{2} - y^{2} + 8xy+y^{2} + 8+x^{2} - 3xy]- [-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=[4x^{2}+3y^{2}-xy+8]-[-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=4x^{2}+3y^{2}-xy+8+3x^{2}-4y^{2}+xy-x+y-3\\=7x^{2}-y^{2}-x+y+5[/tex]
Thus, the final expression is (7x² - y² - x + y + 5).
(13)
What should be subtracted from (x² – xy + y² – x + y + 3) to obtain (-x²+ 3y²- 4xy + 1)?
[tex]A=(x^{2} - xy + y^{2} - x + y + 3) - (-x^{2}+ 3y^{2}- 4xy + 1)\\=x^{2} - xy + y^{2} - x + y + 3 +x^{2}- 3y^{2}+ 4xy -1\\=2x^{2}-2y^{2}+3xy-x+y+2[/tex]
Thus, the expression is (2x² - 2y² + 3xy - x + y + 2).
(14)
What should be added to (xy – 3yz + 4zx) to get (4xy – 3zx + 4yz + 7)?
[tex]A=(4xy-3zx + 4yz + 7)-(xy - 3yz + 4zx) \\=4xy-3zx + 4yz + 7 -xy + 3yz - 4zx\\=3xy-7zx+7yz+7[/tex]
Thus, the expression is (3xy - 7zx + 7yz + 7).
(15)
How much is (x² − 2xy + 3y²) less than (2x² − 3y² + xy)?
[tex]A=(2x^{2} - 3y^{2} + xy)-(x^{2} - 2xy + 3y^{2})\\=2x^{2} - 3y^{2} + xy-x^{2} + 2xy - 3y^{2}\\=x^{2}-6y^{2}+3xy[/tex]
Thus, the expression is (x² - 6y² + 3xy).

Answer:
288.4m
Step-by-step explanation:
This track is split into a rectangle and two semi-circles.
We can find the length of the semi-circles by finding its circumference with the formula [tex]2\pi r[/tex].
[tex]2\cdot3.14\cdot30\\188.4[/tex]
However this is half a circle, so:
[tex]188.4\div2=94.2[/tex].
There are two semi-circles.
[tex]94.2\cdot2=188.4[/tex]
Since there are two legs of 50m each, we add 100 to 188.4
[tex]188.4+100=288.4[/tex]m
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the perimeter, we first look at the rectangle in the middle. the length is 50m, and there are two sides to it, so: 50 * 2 = 100m for the top and bottom of the track.
For the circle, we can see the diameter is 30m. To solve for the circumference, we need to use the formula 2πr.
15 * 2π ≈ 94.2477796077
We add that to 100m and get:
194.2477796077
Suppose triangle TIP and triangle TOP are isosceles triangles. Also suppose that TI=5, PI=7, and PO=11. What are all the possible lengths TP$? Enter the possible values, separated by commas.
====================================================
Explanation:
A drawing may be helpful to see what's going on. Check out the diagram below. This is one way of drawing out the two triangles. The locations of the points don't really matter, and neither does the the orientation of how you rotate things. What does matter is we have the right points connected to form the segments mentioned.
----------
For now, focus on triangle TIP only. In order to have this be isosceles, we must make TP = 5 or TP = 7.
If TP = 5, then it's the same length as TI.
If TP = 7, then it's the same length as PI.
In either case, we have exactly two sides the same length (the other side different) which is what it means for a triangle to be isosceles.
----------
Let's consider triangle TOP. For it to be isosceles, we must have two sides the same length. We already locked in TP to be either 5 or 7 in the previous section above. So there's no way that TP could be 11 units long to match up with PO = 11.
If TP = 5, then OT must also be 5 units long so that triangle TOP is isosceles.
If TP = 7, then OT = 7 for similar reasoning.
Either way, TP only has two choices on what it could be.
----------
In short, we basically just write the first two values given to us to get the two triangles to be isosceles. We can't use TP = 11 as it would make triangle TIP to be scalene (all sides are different lengths).

Sandra spotted the sailboat from the shore and measured the angle from the waterline to the top of the boats mast to be 7° if the top of the mask is 23 feet above the water how far is the middle of the sailboat from the shore? Estimate your answer to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
The middle of the sailboat is approximately 268.8 feet from the shore.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance from shore to the middle of the boat be represented by x, the angle of elevation of Sandra from the shore to the top of the boat mast is 7°. Applying the required trigonometric function to this question, we have;
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
Tan 7° = [tex]\frac{23}{x}[/tex]
⇒ x = [tex]\frac{23}{Tan 7^{0} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{23}{0.12279}[/tex]
= 268.7515
∴ x = 268.8 feet
The middle of the sailboat is approximately 268.8 feet from the shore.

land and sea corporation has just purchased some shoreline property, and according to their calculations it will cost 2.5 times as much to develop the land as much as it did to buy it. If land and sea believe it will end up spending a combined total of $13,457,500 on both the land and its developments, how much must be the land alone have cost?
Answer:
5,383,000 / *improvments cost 8,074,500
Step-by-step explanation:
if 2.5 is by 'times' then,
13,457,500 / 2.5 =
5,383,000
Which means the cost of the land is 5,383,000
To check just multiply:
5,383,000 x 2.5 = 13,457,500
*Extra
13,457,500 - 5,383,000
= the cost of improvements = 8,074,500
Hope this helps, and have a good day :)

Solve for h. 3/7=h/14-2/7
Answer:
h = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{14}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
Multiply through by 14 to clear the fractions
6 = h - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )
10 = h
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
We start out with 3/7 = h/14 - 2/7
add 2/7 to both sides:
(5/7) = h/14
Multiply both sides by 14 to get rid of the fraction:
h = 10

What is the reason: if a+c=b+c then a=b
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1:
a+c=b+c then a=b
First let the value of a and b be different (not equal)
a=5
b=7
c=10
a+c=b+c
5+10=7+10
15≠17
Example 2:
Let the value a and b be equal (the same)
a=5
b=5
c=10
a+c=b+c
5+10=5+10
15=15
So when,
a+c and b+c is equal, a and b are always equal.
Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤
Answer:
a=b
Step-by-step explanation:
Reason:
a+c=b+c
a-b=c-c
c-c would be 0
if a-b=c-c=0
a-b=0
Only if a=b can a-b=0
You can also take it as:
b-a=c-c (a+c=b+c)
b-a=0=c-c
Therefore b=a

(B) Mixed solution comes out at 150 L/min. Initially the tank has 15,000 L of brine with 24 kg of salt.
concentration of salt at time t = y(t) / 15000 kg/L
Outgoing rate = y(t)/15000 * 150 = y(t) / 100
(C) we know that,
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =(incoming\ rate) - (outgoing\ rate)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =0-\frac{y(t)}{100} = \frac{-y(t)}{100}[/tex]
Separate variable and integrate
[tex]\int {\frac{dy}{y} } = - \int {\frac{1}{100} } \, dt[/tex]
[tex]ln|y|=-\frac{1}{100}t + D[/tex]
[tex]y=e^{D} e^{\frac{-t}{100} }[/tex]
[tex]y= Ce^{\frac{-t}{100} }\ [C=e^{D} ][/tex]
At t= 0 , y(0) = 24 kg
[tex]24=C\ e^{0}[/tex]
C= 24
(D) Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank after time t :
[tex]y(t)=24e^{\frac{-t}{100} }\ kg[/tex]
A power failure on the bridge of a Great Lakes freighter has resulted in the ship's navigator having to do her own calculations. She measures the angle between the ship's course and a lighthouse on shore as 32°. After the ship has travelled 1500 m, she measures the angle to be 72°. Determine if the ship was closer to or farther from the lighthouse at the second sighting, and by what distance. (4 marks)
It is impossible to measure the length of a particular swamp directly. Kendra put a stake in the ground and measured from the stake to opposite ends of the swamp, the results being 410 m and 805 m. She measured the angle between the distances to be 57°. What is the length of the swamp? (4 marks)
Answer:
1) The ship is closer
2) 675.73 m
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given parameters are;
The initial angle between the ship's course and the lighthouse = 32°
The final angle between the ship's course and the lighthouse = 72°
The distance traveled by the sip between he two positions = 1500 m
Therefore we have a triangle formed between the distance covered by the ship and the two distances of the ship from the lighthouse, a and b
Where;
a = The initial distance fro the lighthouse
b = The final distance fro the lighthouse
The angles of the triangle are
32°, (180 - 72) = 108° and 180 - 32 - 108 = 40°
By sine rule we have;
1500/(sin(40)) = a/(sin(108)) = b/(sin(32)) =
Therefore, a = sin(108°) × 1500/(sin(40°)) = 2219.37 m
b = (sin(32°)) × 1500/(sin(40°)) = 1236.61 m
Therefore, a > b
The initial distance fro the lighthouse > The final distance fro the lighthouse, which shows that the ship is closer
2) By cosine rule we have
a² = b² + c² - 2× b×c×cos(A)
Where the given measurements by Kendra are;
410 m and 805 m with an included (in between) angle of 57°, we have;
Let b = 410 m, c = 805 m, and A = 57°, we have;
a² = 410^2 + 805^2 - 2× 410×805×cos(57 degrees) = 456608.77 m²
a = The length of the stream = 675.73 m.
