Answer:

kinetic energy of the scooter is 14256 joule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since kinetic energy of an object is represented by the formula

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Mass})(\text{Velocity}^{2})$

Mass of the scooter = 88 kg

Velocity of the scooter = 18 meter per second.

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}\times 88\times (18)^{2}$

= 44×(18)²

= 14256 Joule

Therefore, kinetic energy of the scooter is 14256 joule.

Joey is measuring the amount of time it takes for a frisbee to fly through the air he uses a stopwatch to time it and find that

Answer:percent error in Joey's measurement to the nearest 10th of a percent =- 4.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Time as recorded by the stopwatch = 4.82 seconds

Real Time it takes for a Frisbee to fly through the air =5.05 seconds

percent error = Measured value – True Value /True value x 100.

= 4.82 - 5.05 / 5.05 x 100

=-0.23/5.05

=-0.0455 x 100

=4.5544%

Rounding to nearest 10th of a percent = - 4.6%

You put $1200 in an account that earns 3% simple interest. Y= a (1 + r)t Find the total amount in the account after four years.

Hello!

To find how much money total will be in the account after four years, you need to use the function, $y = a(1 + r)^{t}$ , as seen above. In this function, a is the starting value, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time (in years).

Before substituting values into the function, we need to convert 3% into a decimal. Remember that all percentages are out of 100, so we divide 3 by 100 and remove the percentage sign, or move the decimal two places to the left.

3/100 = 0.03 | 0.03 is the interest rate.

With all the necessary values, we can find the total amount in the account. In this case, a = 1200, r = 0.03, and t = 4.

$y = 1200(1 + 0.03)^{4}$
