Let's represent the number of students and professionals as 4x and 5x, respectively.
We know that the total number of participants is 45, so we can write an equation:
4x + 5x = 45
Simplifying:
9x = 45
Dividing both sides by 9:
x = 5
Now we can find the number of professionals by multiplying 5x (or 5 times the number of professionals) by 5:
5x = 5(5) = 25
Therefore, there are 25 professionals among the 45 participants.
To break even, the total revenue from selling calculators should equal the total cost of making them.A company is selling calculators for $100 each. How many should it sell to break even if it costs $10 to manufacture each calculator in addition to a
fixed cost of $4500?
The sale price of a book after a 25% discount is $40. What was its original price?To break even, the total revenue from selling calculators should equal the total cost of making them.
The cost of making each calculator is $10 and there is a fixed cost of $4500. So, the total cost of making ‘x’ calculators is:
Total cost = $4500 + $10x
The revenue from selling each calculator is $100, so the total revenue from selling ‘x’ calculators is:
Total revenue = $100x
To break even, the total revenue should equal the total cost:
$4500 + $10x = $100x
Simplifying:
$4500 = $90x
x = 50
Therefore, the company needs to sell 50 calculators to break even.
Let the original price of the book be "x".The sale price of a book after a 25% discount is $40. What was its original price?
Let the original price of the book be "x".
If the book was sold at a 25% discount, then the sale price would be 75% of the original price:
Sale price = 75% of x
$40 = (75/100)x
Solving for x:
x = ($40 x 100) / 75
x = $53.33 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the original price of the book was $53.33.
To determine the position of the particle at time t = 2.0 s, we need to integrate the given velocity function from t = 0 to t = 2.0 s:The velocity e of a particle moving on the horizontal axis is given by a function of time t as:
v = 4 — 3t^2
where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. At time t = 0 s, the particle is at x = 0 meters. Consider the direction to the right as the positive
direction.
Which of the following is true about the particle at time t = 2.0 s?
To determine the position of the particle at time t = 2.0 s, we need to integrate the given velocity function from t = 0 to t = 2.0 s:
∫v dt = ∫(4 - 3t^2) dt
= [4t - t^3] from t = 0 to t = 2.0 s
= [4(2.0) - (2.0)^3] - [4(0) - (0)^3]
= 8.0 - 8.0
= 0
Therefore, the position of the particle at time t = 2.0 s is 0 meters, which means that it is back at its initial position.
According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative velocities. Therefore, the speed of the photons coming from the laser in spaceship A would be the same for an astronaut in spaceship B as it is for the observer on Earth.According to an observer on Earth, two spaceships A and B are
moving towards each other. Spaceship A is moving at 0.80c to the
observer's left while spaceship B is moving at 0.65c to her right. An
astronaut in spaceship A turns a laser on for an experiment.
Relative to an astronaut in spaceship B, how fast are the photons
coming from the laser in spaceship A travelling? Express the speed in
terms of c
According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative velocities. Therefore, the speed of the photons coming from the laser in spaceship A would be the same for an astronaut in spaceship B as it is for the observer on Earth.
This means that the speed of the photons coming from the laser in spaceship A relative to an astronaut in spaceship B would also be equal to the speed of light, c.
Newton's second law of motion can also be described in terms of the change in momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product of its mass and velocity, and is given by the equation:New'ton's second law of motion states the equation below:
summation of F = ma
where F is the total external force acting on the body, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the body.
Describe Newton's second law in terms of change in momentum.
View attachment 2631731
Newton's second law of motion can also be described in terms of the change in momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product of its mass and velocity, and is given by the equation:
p = mv
where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.
If a force F is applied to an object for a time interval t, the force can be expressed as:
F = Δp/Δt
where Δp is the change in momentum and Δt is the time interval.
Rearranging this equation gives:
Δp = FΔt
This equation shows that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the force applied to the object multiplied by the time over which the force is applied.
Using the definition of acceleration, a = Δv/Δt, we can write F = ma as:
F = mΔv/Δt
Multiplying both sides by Δt gives:
FΔt = mΔv
But Δp = mΔv, so we can write:
FΔt = Δp
This is the same equation we obtained earlier. Therefore, Newton's second law can be described as the relationship between the force applied to an object and the resulting change in momentum of the object.
According to the theory of relativity, the relative velocity between two objects depends on the reference frame from which it is being observed.In a rare event that only happens once every few hundred years, a pair of comets will be visible in the night sky. Comet A will be travelling at a speed of
0.40c and Comet B will travel in the same direction at 0.90c, both relative to Earth's ground.
What is the relative speed of each comet in the other's reference frame?
According to the theory of relativity, the relative velocity between two objects depends on the reference frame from which it is being observed.
Let's consider Comet A's reference frame. In this reference frame, Comet A is at rest and Comet B is moving towards it with a velocity of:
v_AB = 0.90c - 0.40c = 0.50c
Now, let's consider Comet B's reference frame. In this frame, Comet B is at rest and Comet A is moving towards it with a velocity of:
v_BA = -v_AB = -0.50c
Therefore, the relative speed of Comet B in Comet A's reference frame is 0.50c, and the relative speed of Comet A in Comet B's reference frame is -0.50c (or 0.50c in the opposite direction).
The cross product of vectors B and C is given by:three vectors are define as
A = 2i-3j
B = -i+5j
c = -4k
then, what is the value of expression
A.(C X B)
The cross product of vectors B and C is given by:
B x C = (5j)(-4k) - (-k)(-i) = 20i + 4j
Taking the dot product of A with B x C gives:
A . (B x C) = (2i - 3j) . (20i + 4j)
= 2(20) + (-3)(4)
= 40 - 12
= 28
Therefore, the value of the expression A . (C x B) is 28.
Using the mirror formula for a convex mirror, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u, where f is the focal length, u is the object distance, and v is the image distance, we can find the image distance as:An object is placed 40 cm in front of a convex mirror with 80-cm
radius.
describes the image formed
Using the mirror formula for a convex mirror, 1/f = 1/v + 1/u, where f is the focal length, u is the object distance, and v is the image distance, we can find the image distance as:
1/f = 1/v + 1/u
For a convex mirror, the focal length is positive and given by f = R/2, where R is the radius of curvature, which is positive for a convex mirror.
Substituting f = 80 cm and u = -40 cm (since the object is placed in front of the mirror), we get:
1/80 = 1/v - 1/40
Solving for v, we get:
v = 53.3 cm
Since the image distance is positive, the image is formed behind the mirror, and is virtual and diminished in size compared to the object. The negative sign of the object distance indicates that the object is placed in front of the mirror.
Therefore, the image formed is virtual, diminished, and located 53.3 cm behind the mirror.
