An alloy of copper and zinc which contains 5 grams of zinc. If 15 grams of zinc are added to this alloy, a new alloy is obtained in which the copper content has been reduced by 30% from the original. Find the initial mass of the alloy

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial mass = 25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\left(\frac{x}{x+20}\right)\:=\:\:\left(\frac{x}{x+5}\:-.3\:\right)[/tex]

x = 20 (mass of copper)

[tex]\frac{20}{20+5} = .8 = 80[/tex] percent

[tex]\\\frac{20}{20+15} = .5 = 50[/tex] percent

Answers

Answer:

Minimum Possible Temperature: 55° F

Maximum Possible Temperature: 71° F

Step-by-step explanation:

Beginning temperature: 63° F

Change in temperature: 8° F

If the temperature decreased: 63° F - 8 °F = 55° F

If the temperature increased: 63° F + 8° F = 71° F

Minimum Possible Temperature: 55° F

Maximum Possible Temperature: 71° F

A tuning fork with a period of 1.95 x 10-3 is struck at the same time as a guitar
string. If 24 beats are heard in 6.0 s, find the possible frequency or frequencies of the guitar string.

Answers

Answer:

The possible approximate frequencies of the guitar string are 516.82 Hz and 508.82 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The given period of the tuning fork, T₁ = 1.95 × 10⁻³ s

The number of beats in 6.0 s = 24 beats

Therefore, the beat frequency, [tex]f_{beat}[/tex] = 4 beats per second = 4 Hz

Let f₁ represent the frequency of the tuning fork, and let f₂ represent the frequency of the guitar string, we have;

f₁ = 1/T₁ = 1/(1.95 × 10⁻³) ≈ 512.82 Hz

We have;

[tex]f_{beat} = \left | f_2 - f_1 \right |[/tex]

[tex]\pm f_{beat} = f_2 - f_1[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]4 \, Hz= \left | f_2 - 512.82 \, Hz \right |[/tex]

f₂ - 512.82 = ± 4

∴ f₂ = 512.82 ± 4

The possible frequencies of the guitar string,  f₂ ≈ 516.82 Hz or f₂ ≈ 508.82 Hz

A baseball player swings and hits a pop fly straight up in the air to the catcher. The height of the baseball in meters t seconds after it is hit is given by the quadratic function . How long does it take for the baseball to reach its maximum​ height? What is the​ baseball?s maximum​ height?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial velocity of the ball is u.

At the maximum height the speed is zero.

Let the time is t.

Use first equation of motion.

v = u - gt

0 = u - g t

t = u/g

Let the maximum height is H.

Use third equation of motion

[tex]v^2 = u^2 - 2 gh\\\\0 = u^2 - 2 gH\\\\H = \frac{u^2}{2 g}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let the number be represented by m

Let one-third of the number m, be ⅓*m

If there is 12 less of an amount of something, it implies 12 is to be subtracted from the initial amount.

Thus, 12 less than the number, m is (m - 12)

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer: x = 7°

Explanation:

We know that sum of angles of a quadilateral is = 360°

Therefore ATQ

⇒ (12x-4)+(18x+4)+(15x+10)+(5x) = 360

⇒ (12x + 18x + 15x + 5x) + (-4+4+10) = 360

⇒ 50x + 10 = 360

⇒ 50x = 360-10

⇒ 50x = 350

⇒ x = 350/50

⇒ x = 7

Therefore value of x is 7°

To paint a wooden cube, Pinocchio needs 4 grams of paint. When it is dry, he cut the cube into 8 smaller pieces of smaller size. How much paint additional paint does Pinocchio need to paint the unpainted surfaces of the smaller cubes

Answers

Answer:

9 grams of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

6×8=48

48÷4= 12

48-12=36

36÷4=9

first multiply 6 by 8 because a cube has six faces and you cut that cube eight times

second after you cut that you will have 48 faces and for every six faces there are 4 grams of paint so you divide 48 by 4 and you get 12 this means that 12 of the faces are painted

next you subtract 12 from 48 and you get 36 this means that 36 faces are not painted

lastly you divide 36 by 4 and you will get 9 grams of paint
