A 3000-lb wrecking ball hangs from a 50-ft cable of density 5 lb/ft attached to a crane. Calculate the work done if the crane lifts the ball from ground level to 50 ft in the air by drawing in the cable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  227,130 J (or 227 kJ).

How?:

When the force is in the same direction than the displacement, we can express the work of this force as: W = F x h

The force is equal to the total weight of the wrecking ball and the cable. The wrecking ball has a mass of 3000 lb. For the cable, we have to calculate the mass as:

Mc = l x p= 50ft x 7lb/ft= 350lb

The total mass is 3,350 lb.

The magnitude of the force is equal to the weight:

F= mg= 3,350lbf

The work done by this force is:

W=F x h= 3,350lbf x 50ft = 167,500lbf - ft

W= 167,500lbf - ft x 1.356J/1lbf - ft = 227,130 J (or 227 kJ).

Each course at college X is worth either 2 or 3 credits. The members of the men's swim team are taking a total of 48 courses that are worth a total of 107 credits. How many 2-credit courses and how many 3-credit courses are being taken?

Answers

Answer:

Let the number of courses that are worth 3 credits each be x and those worth 4 credits be y. With the given information, you can write the following equations:  

x + y = 48

3x + 4y = 155

 

You can solve the above equations by method of elimination/substitution

x + y = 48 ⇒ x = 48 - y (Now, substitution this equation into 3x + 4y = 155)

3(48 - y) + 4y = 155

144 -3y + 4y = 155

y + 144 = 155

y = 11

 

Now plug this solution back into x = 48 - y  

x = 48 - 11 = 37  

 

Check work (by plugging the solutions back into the 3x + 4y and see if it's equal to 155):

3(37) + 4(11) = 155

Answer: There are 37 of the 3-credit course and 11 of the 4-credit course

A computer parts company wants to make a rectangular memory board that has a perimeter of 14 cm and a diagonal of length 5 cm. What are the dimensions of the​ board?

Answers

Answer:

A computer parts company wants to make a rectangular memory board that has a perimeter of 28 centimeters and a diagonal length of 10 centimeters. Find the dimensions of the board. Consider the length to be the longer side.: Call the two sides L & W: the perimeter 2L + 2W = 28 Simplify, divide by 2 L + W = 14 L = (14-W); use this form for substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:  3 cm by 4 cm

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = width

y = length

both x and y are positive real numbers, and the units of which are in cm.

The perimeter of any rectangle is found by saying

P = 2*(length+width)

P = 2*(x+y)

Plugging in P = 14 leads us to

P = 2*(x+y)

14 = 2*(x+y)

14/2 = x+y

7 = x+y

Solve for one of the variables. Let's say we solve for y. That should get us y = 7-x which we'll use a bit later.

--------------

Notice how the diagonal forms two identical right triangles. The legs of which are x and y as defined earlier. The hypotenuse is 5, which is the diagonal length.

Use the pythagorean theorem to help solve for x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + y^2 = 5^2

x^2 + (7-x)^2 = 25 ... plug in y = 7-x

x^2 + 49 - 14x + x^2 = 25 ... use FOIL rule

2x^2-14x+49 = 25

2x^2-14x+49-25 = 0

2x^2-14x+24 = 0

2(x^2-7x+12) = 0

x^2-7x+12 = 0

(x-3)(x-4) = 0

x-3 = 0 or x-4 = 0

x = 3 or x = 4

If x = 3, then y = 7-x = 7-3 = 4

If x = 4, then y = 7-x = 7-4 = 3

We have this symmetry going on. If x is one of 3 or 4, then y is the other of those values. Because x = 3 and y = 4, or vice versa, this means we have a 3-4-5 right triangle (well to be fair we have two identical copies of such a triangle to form the rectangle).

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangular board is 3 cm by 4 cm. The order doesn't matter so you could easily say "4 cm by 3 cm" to mean the same thing.

--------------

Check:

P = perimeter

P = 2*(length+width)

P = 2*(x+y)

P = 2*(3+4)

P = 2*7

P = 14

That helps confirm the answer.


A 12 ounce bag of rice costs $4.08. A 16-ounce bag of the same rice costs $5.76. Which bag is the better by
and by how much

Answers

Answer:

16 once is the better one.

Answer: 12-ounce bag is better by $0.02 per ounce

Concept:

When coming across questions that ask for a comparison between prices, we should make the final unit [price per object].

In finding [price per object], simply do [Total price / number of objects].

Solve:

A 12-ounce bag of rice costs $4.08

Total price / number of objects = 4.08 / 12 = $0.34 per ounce

A 16-ounce bag of rice costs $5.76

Total price / number of objects = 5.76 / 16 = $0.36 per ounce

$0.36 - $0.34 = $0.02

$0.34 < $0.36, therefore, 12-ounce bag is better by $0.02 per ounce.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answers

Answer:

a) 75

b) 4.33

c) 0.75

d) [tex]3.2 \times 10^{-13}[/tex] probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline

g) [tex]4.5 \times 10^{-8}[/tex] probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they do not own a landline, or they do. The probability of an young adult not having a landline is independent of any other adult, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.

This means that [tex]p = 0.75[/tex]

(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?

Sample of 100, so [tex]n = 100[/tex]

[tex]E(X) = np = 100(0.75) = 75[/tex]

(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.75)(0.25)} = 4.33[/tex]

(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?

The estimation, of 75% = 0.75.

(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 100), that is, all do not own. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 100) = C_{100,100}.(0.75)^{100}.(0.25)^{0} = 3.2 \times 10^{-13}[/tex]

[tex]3.2 \times 10^{-13}[/tex] probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 0), that is, all own. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{100} = 6.2 \times 10^{-61}[/tex]

[tex]6.2 \times 10^{-61}[/tex] probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?

Binomial, with [tex]n = 100, p = 0.75[/tex]

(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?

This is P(X = 50). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 50) = C_{100,50}.(0.75)^{50}.(0.25)^{50} = 4.5 \times 10^{-8}[/tex]

[tex]4.5 \times 10^{-8}[/tex] probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Answers

Trapezoid only has one because sides are slanted

A shape of a trapezoid has exactly one line of symmetry. The correct option is B.

What is a trapezoid?

An open, flat object with four straight sides and one pair of parallel sides is referred to as a trapezoid or trapezium.

A balanced and proportionate likeness between an object's two halves is referred to as symmetry in geometry. It implies that one half is the other's mirror image.

A trapezium's non-parallel sides are referred to as the legs, while its parallel sides are referred to as the bases. The legs of a trapezium can also be parallel. The parallel sides may be vertical, horizontal, or angled.

Therefore, the shape of a trapezoid has exactly one line of symmetry. The correct option is B.

Answer:

[tex]C. \ \ \ 86[/tex]°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

In order to solve this problem, one must first find a relationship between arc (a) and arc (c). This can be done using the congruent arcs cut congruent segments theorem. After doing so, one can then use the secants interior angle to find the precise measurement of arc (a).

2. Arc (a) and arc (c)

A secant is a line or line segment that intersects a circle in two places. The congruent segments cut congruent arcs theorem states that when two secants are congruent, meaning the part of the secant that is within the circle is congruent to another part of a secant that is within that same circle, the arcs surrounding the congruent secants are congruent. Applying this theorem to the given situation, one can state the following:

[tex]a = c[/tex]

3. Finding the degree measure of arc (a),

The secants interior angle theorem states that when two secants intersect inside of a circle, the measure of any of the angles formed is equal to half of the sum of the arcs surrounding the angles. One can apply this here by stating the following:

[tex]86=\frac{a+c}{2}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]86=\frac{a+c}{2}[/tex]

[tex]86=\frac{a+a}{2}[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]86=\frac{a+a}{2}[/tex]

[tex]86=\frac{2a}{2}[/tex]

[tex]86=a[/tex]

I suppose all measures of angles are done from the same axis (for example x-axis)

Step-by-step explanation:

You just have to use the theorem of Al'Kashi:

The weekly amount of money spent on maintenance and repairs by a company was observed, over a long period of time, to be approximately normally distributed with mean $440 and standard deviation $20. How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.1

Answers

Answer:

$465.6 should be budgeted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with mean $440 and standard deviation $20.

This means that [tex]\mu = 440, \sigma = 20[/tex]

How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.1?

The 100 - 10 = 90th percentile should be budgeted, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28. Then

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 440}{20}[/tex]

[tex]X - 440 = 1.28*20[/tex]

[tex]X = 465.6[/tex]

$465.6 should be budgeted.

Suppose that 22 inches of wire costs 66 cents.
At the same rate, how much (in cents) will 17 inches of wire cost?
cents
Х
?

Answers

Answer:

51 cents for 17 inches of wire

Step-by-step explanation:

22 = 66

17 = x

22x = 66 * 17

22x = 1122

x = 51 cents

or

22 inches costs 66 cents

1 inch costs 3  cents (66 / 22 = 3  cents)

17 inches costs 51  cents (17 * 3 = 51 cents)
