It is known that the distance in metres through which a body falls freely varies directly as the square of the time taken. If a

body falls through 80 metres in 4 seconds, find the distance it would fall in 5 seconds.

Answer:

K = 5 ; 125 m

Step-by-step explanation:

body falls through 80 metres in 4 seconds, find the distance it would fall in 5 seconds.

Given that:

Distance α (Timetaken)²

Distance = d ; Timetaken = t

d = Kt²

K = constant of proportionality

80 = k4²

80 = 16k

K = 80 / 16

K = 5

Distance it would fall in 5 seconds ; t = 5

D = Kt²

D = 5 * 5²

D = 5 * 25

D = 125

It will fall a distance of 125 m in 5 seconds.

adell [148]
To calculate this, the Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where p and q are the frequencies of the alleles (p - dominant, q - recessive), and p², q² and 2pq are the frequencies of the genotypes.

a) Since 32 plants have rough seed (recessive genotype: q²) out of 100 plants in total, then 

q² = 32/100 = 0.32


b) q = √q² = √0.32 = 0.56


c) Since p + q = 1, then

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44


d) 19 plants with rough seeds (recessive genotype: q²) in a population of 100 means that q² = 19/100 = 0.19

We need to calculate p (the allele frequency for smooth seeds).
We can find q because we know q²:

q = √q² = √0.19 = 0.44

Since p + q = 1, then

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.56

You jog 6/23 miles around a track each day. If you jogged that distance 4 times last week, how many miles did you jog?
LenaWriter [7]
Well, since you jogged 6/23 mi. a day, for 4 days, it'll be (6/23)×4. This is 24/23 which is one mile and 1/24 of one.

Allisa [31]

pi radians in a semicircle (half circle)

2pi radians in a full circle.

2pi = 2*3.14 = 6.28 approximately, so there are approximately 6.28 radians in a half circle.

2pi radians is equivalent to 360 degrees.

A study of immunizations among school‑age children in California found that some areas had rates of unvaccinated school‑age chil
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a classroom of 20 children in one such area where 13.5% of children are unvaccinated.

If there are no siblings in the classroom, we are willing to consider the vaccination status of the 2020 unrelated children to be independent.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 children

            r = number of success = none of the 20 children

            p = probability of success which in our case is probability that

                   children are unvaccinated, i.e; p = 13.5%

<u><em>Let X = Number of children that are unvaccinated</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20, p = 0.135)

Now, Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is given by = P(X = 0)

           P(X = 0)  =  \binom{20}{0} \times 0.135^{0} \times (1-0.135)^{20-0}

                          =  1\times 1 \times 0.865^{20}

                          =  0.055

<em>Hence, the probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.</em>

Chris and Becky are comparing mortgages. The mortgage is for $183,500. If they choose 30 years at 5%, their monthly payment will
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

For 30 years at 5% = $354,625.2

For 20 years at 4.5% = $278,618.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The total payback for each payment is given by the monthly payment multiplied by the total number of months for the payment period (years).

1) For 30 years at 5%

Total number of months in 30 years = 30 x 12 = 360 months

Payback = $985.07 x 360 = $354,625.2

2) For 20 years at 4.5%

Total number of months in 20 years = 20 x 12 = 240 months

Payback = $1160.91 x 240 = $278,618.4
