Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x

be the kg of coffee of brand A in the mix and

y

be the kg of coffee of brand B in the mix.

The total kg must be

50

.

x

+

y

=

50

The cost per kg of the mix must br

$

7.20

. For this, the total cost of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

, so the total cost per kg of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

50

.

6

x

+

8

y

50

=

7.20

Now that we have our two equations, we can solve.

6

x

+

8

y

=

7.20

⋅

50

6

x

+

8

y

=

360

From the first equation, we can multiply both sides by

6

to get:

6

x

+

6

y

=

300

Subtracting, we get:

2

y

=

60

y

=

30

Thus, we need

30

kg of brand B in our mix. This means that

50

−

30

=

20

kg will be of brand A.

Dimensional Analysis Method (also called conversion factor or unit analysis) (Appendix D: Dimensional Analysis, Page 397) o The
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The dimensional analysis method uses equivalences written in <u>fractional</u> form. Because the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equivalent, the value of the fraction is <u>1.</u> Multiplying by 1 does not change the quantity, but using an equivalence will change the units (or label). In order for units to cancel they must be in <u>the numerator and the denominator</u> of the fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensional analysis is a method of problem solving that takes into consideration the identity property of multiplication whereby the product of a number and 1 will always give the same number, that is 1 × n = n whereby the value "n" remains the same after the multiplication

Therefore, a fraction of two equivalent measurements but different units has a value of 1, and multiplying the equivalent fraction with another measurement with the same unit as the denominator of the fraction with a value of 1 changes the unit to that of the unit of the numerator

The spring has a stiffness k=200n/m and is unstretched when the 25 kg block is at
g100num [7]
To solve this we are going to use the formula fro the force applied to a spring: F=ks
where
k is the spring constant 
s is the extension 

Since we know the F=ma, we can replace that in our formula and solve for a :
ma=ks
a= \frac{ks}{m}
where
a is the acceleration 
k is the spring constant
s is the extension 
m is the mass

We know for our problem that k=200, s=0.4, and m=25. So lets replace those values in our formula to find a:
a= \frac{ks}{m}
a= \frac{(200)(0.4)}{25}
a=3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}

We can conclude that the acceleration of the block when s=0.4m is 3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}.
