Answer:

731 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the number of miles he travels in 17 hours x for now.

8/344=17/x

Simplify 8/344

2/86=17/x

Cross multiply

86*17=2*x

2x=1462

Divide both sides by 2.

x=731

He would travel 731 miles in 17 hours.

Answer:

731 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions:

344 miles ⇒ 8 hours

W miles ⇒ 17 hours

W = 344*17/8

W = 731

1st Avenue would be more difficult because it’s rise and run is for every one foot forward it is 3 feet up. Meanwhile avenue 16th would start at (3,1) and the rise and run would be for every 3 feet it would go up 1 foot.

A pipe that is 120 cm long resonates to produce sound of wavelengths 480 cm, 160 cm, and 96 cm but does not resonate at any wave

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A Pipe that is 120 cm long resonates to produce sound of wavelengths 480 cm, 160 cm and 96 cm but does not resonate at any wavelengths longer than these. This pipe is:

A. closed at both ends

B. open at one end and closed at one end

C. open at both ends.

D. we cannot tell because we do not know the frequency of the sound.

The right choice is:

B. open at one end and closed at one end .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the pipe, $L$ = 120 cm

Its wavelength $\lambda_1$ = 480 cm

$\lambda_2$ = 160 cm and $\lambda_3$ = 96 cm

We have to find whether the pipe is open,closed or open-closed or none.

Note:

The fundamental wavelength of a pipe which is open at both ends is 2L.
The fundamental wavelength of a pipe which is closed at one end and open at another end is 4L.

So,

The fundamental wavelength:

⇒ $4L=4(120)=480\ cm$

It seems that the pipe is open at one end and closed at one end.

Now lets check with the subsequent wavelengths.

For one side open and one side closed pipe:

An odd-integer number of quarter wavelength have to fit into the tube of length L.

⇒ $\lambda_2=\frac{4L}{3}$ ⇒ $\lambda_3=\frac{4L}{5}$

⇒ $\lambda_2=\frac{4(120)}{3}$ ⇒ $\lambda_3=\frac{4(120)}{5}$

⇒ $\lambda_2=\frac{480}{3}$ ⇒ $\lambda_3=\frac{480}{5}$

⇒ $\lambda_2=160\ cm$ ⇒ $\lambda_3=96\ cm$

So the pipe is open at one end and closed at one end .

An increase in walking has been shown to contribute to a healthier life-style. A sedentary American takes an average of 5000 ste

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

H0: µ = 5000

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: µ > 5000

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 5000

x = 5430

σ = 600

n = 40

z = (5430 - 5000)/(600/√40) = 4.53

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is < 0.0001

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at a 5% level of significance, it can be concluded that they walked more than the mean number of 5000 steps per day.

Circle 1 has center (−4, −7) and a radius of 12 cm. Circle 2 has center (3, 4) and a radius of 15 cm.

CaHeK987 [17]

<h3>Answer with explanation:</h3>

It is given that:

Circle 1 has center (−4, −7) and a radius of 12 cm.

Circle 2 has center (3, 4) and a radius of 15 cm.

Two circles are said to be similar if by some translation and dilation it could be placed over the other to form the same circle.

The circles are similar because the transformation rule ( x,y ) → (x+7,y+11) can be applied to Circle 1 and then dilate it using a scale factor of 5/4

( Since, as the center of circle 1 is (-4,-7)

so,

(-4+7,-7+11) → (3,4)

( Since, the radius of circle 1 is 12 and that of circle 2 is 15 cm.

so, let the scale factor be k .

that means :

$12\times k=15\\\\k=\dfrac{15}{12}\\\\k=\dfrac{5}{4}$ )
