The gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object to the center of the Earth. If an astronaut weighs 196 pounds on the surface of the Earth, what will this astronaut weigh 300 miles above the Earth? Assume that the radius of the Earth is 4000 miles. (Round off your answer to the nearest pound.)

Answers

Answer 1

the astronaut would weigh 1 pound above the Earth.

How to calculate the weight

Given that;

Gravitational force = Gm/r^2

M1 = 196 pounds

M2 = unknown

R1 = 4000 miles

R2 = 300 miles

We can deduce that;

[tex]\frac{m1}{r^21} = \frac{m2}{r^22}[/tex]

Let's substitute the values

[tex]\frac{196}{4000^2} = \frac{x}{300^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{196}{1.6 *10^7} = \frac{x}{9 *10^4}[/tex]

Cross multiply

196 × 9 ×10^4 = x × 1.6 ×10^7

1.76 × 10^7 = x × 1.6 ×10^7

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = [tex]\frac{1.76* 10^7}{1.6*10^7}[/tex]

x = 1.1

x = 1 pound

Thus, the astronaut would weigh 1 pound above the Earth.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3 cm more than three times the length of the shorter

side lengths of the triangle.
Length of the shorter leg:________ cm
Length of the longer leg:
cm
Length of the hypotenuse:
_cm

Answers

Answer:

the length of the shorter leg : 7 cm

the length of the longer leg : 24 cm

the length of the Hypotenuse : 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 3b + 3

c = 3b + 4

and we know the general Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

(3b + 4)² = (3b + 3)² + b²

9b² + 24b + 16 = 9b² + 18b + 9 + b²

24b + 16 = 18b + 9 + b²

6b + 7 = b²

b² - 6b - 7 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equating is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x is called b.

a = 1

b = -6

c = -7

b = (6 ± sqrt((-6)² - 4×1×-7))/(2×1) = (6 ± sqrt(36 + 28))/2 =

= (6 ± sqrt(64))/2 = (6 ± 8)/2

b1 = (6+8)/2 = 14/2 = 7 cm

b2 = (6-8)/2 = -2/2 = -1 cm

a negative number did not make sense for a side length, so,

b = 7 cm

is our solution for one leg.

a = 3b + 3 = 3×7 + 3 = 24 cm

c = 3b + 4 = 25 cm

Answers

The probabilities on each branch are shown in the tree diagram, and P(HT) = 2/9.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have:

The probability of H is 2/3 and the probability of T is 1/3.

P(HT) = P(H in the first trial)P(T in the second trial)

From the tree diagram:

P(HT) = (2/3)(1/3) = 2/9

Thus, the probabilities on each branch are shown in the tree diagram, and P(HT) = 2/9.

A population of bacteria begins with 1500 bacteria and grows to 4500 in one hour.

- Find a function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time.

- How long does it take this culture of bacteria to double?

Thanks TT

Answers

The function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is; P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

How to calculate Exponential Growth?

The formula for exponential growth is;

P = P₀e^(rt)

where;

P = current population at time t

P₀ = starting population

r = rate of exponential growth/decay

t = time after start

Thus, from our question we have;

4500 = 1500 * e^(r * 1)

4500/1500 = e^r

e^r = 3

In 3 = r

r = 1.0986

Thus, the function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is;

P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

For the culture to double, then;

P/P₀ = 2. Thus;

e^(1.0986t) = 2

In 2 = 1.0986t

t = 0.6931/1.0986

t = 0.631 hours

If sin(θ)=−24/25, and θ is in Quadrant III, then what is tan(θ/2)?

Answers

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

[tex]\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1[/tex]

Since [tex]\theta[/tex] belongs to Q3, we know both [tex]\sin(\theta)[/tex] and [tex]\cos(\theta)[/tex] are negative. Then

[tex]\cos(\theta) = -\sqrt{1 - \sin^2(\theta)} = -\dfrac7{25}[/tex]

Recall the half-angle identities for sine and cosine,

[tex]\sin^2\left(\dfrac\theta2\right) = \dfrac{1 - \cos(\theta)}2[/tex]

[tex]\cos^2\left(\dfrac\theta2\right) = \dfrac{1 + \cos(\theta)}2[/tex]

Then by definition of tangent,

[tex]\tan^2\left(\dfrac\theta2\right) = \dfrac{\sin^2\left(\frac\theta2\right)}{\cos^2\left(\frac\theta2\right)} = \dfrac{1 - \cos(\theta)}{1 + \cos(\theta)}[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] belonging to Q3 means [tex]180^\circ < \theta < 270^\circ[/tex], or [tex]90^\circ < \theta < 135^\circ[/tex], so that the half-angle belongs to Q2. Then [tex]\sin\left(\frac\theta2\right)[/tex] is positive and [tex]\cos\left(\frac\theta2\right)[/tex] is negative, so [tex]\tan\left(\frac\theta2\right)[/tex] is negative.

It follows that

[tex]\tan\left(\dfrac\theta2\right) = -\sqrt{\dfrac{1 - \cos(\theta)}{1 + \cos(\theta)}} = \boxed{-\dfrac43}[/tex]

A disk is in the form of square and measures 5.25 inches on each side. Find
the diagonal length of the disk?

Answers

Answer:

The diagonal length of the desk is 7.42462120246 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a square then all sides are equal which means we can easily formulate the pythagorean theorem on the diagonal length of the desk.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

A and B are the same (width and length) since it is a square.

5.25^2 + 5.25^2 = c^2

27.5625 + 27.5625 = c^2

55.125 = c^2

Put c^2 under a square root (apply to both sides)

square root of 55.125 = 7.42462120246 = c

The value of card(B) is card(B) = 4954

How to determine the card(B)?

The set is given as:

B={1,3,5,7,9,….9907}

The above set is the set of odd numbers from 1 to 9907.

The number of elements is the cardinality

And it can be calculated using

L = a + (n - 1)d

Where

L = 9907

a = 1

d = 2

So, we have:

9907 = 1 + (n - 1)2

Subtract 1 from both sides

9906 = (n - 1)2

Divide by 2

n - 1 = 4953

Add 1 to both sides

n = 4954

100 mm

Answers

Answer:

80 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

the same amount (and that means the same volume) of pepper is in each shaker.

the volume of a cylinder is

base area × height = pi×r² × height

with r being the radius (which is always half of the diameter).

the volume of the filled in pepper in the first shaker is then

pi×(32/2)²×45 = pi×16²×45 = pi×256×45 = 11,520pi mm³ =

= 36,191.14737... mm³

now let's see what height in the second shaker we will reach by filling the same 11,520pi mm³ of pepper into it.

so, we have

pi×(24/2)²×height = 11,520pi

12²×height = 11,520

144×height = 11,520

height = 11,520/144 = 80 mm

so, the shaker on the right is filled up to 80 mm with pepper.
