To solve this problem, you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. The problem gives the following information: <span>Harold walks 3/4 miles in each 5/6 hours. Therefore, you have to divide 3/4 miles by 5/6 hours, as below:

unit rate=(3/4)(5/6)
unit rate=(3x6)(4x5)
unit rate=18/20

3. When you simplify, you obtain:

unit rate=9/10

4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: Harold's unit rate is 9/10.</span>

El caño de una fuente está inclinado 60° sobre la horizontal. Si el agua sale del caño con una velocidad inicial de 10 m/s: a) ¿

jeka94

Answer:

A) Parabola; B) 3.83 m; C) 8.84 m; D) 10 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Shape of water jet

The water jet has the shape of a parabola.

B) Maximum height

Data:

θ = 60°

u = 10 m/s

a = 9.8 m·s⁻²

Calculations:

1. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity

$u_{\text{h}} = u \cos \theta = \text{10 m/s} \times \cos 60 ^{\circ} = \text{10 m/s} \times 0.5 = \text{5 m/s}\\u_{\text{v}} = u \sin \theta = \text{10 m/s} \times \sin 60 ^{\circ} = \text{10 m/s} \times 0.866 = \text{8.66 m/s}$

2. Maximum height

$H = \dfrac{(u_{\text{v}})^{2}}{2a} = \dfrac{8.66^{2}}{2\times 9.8} =\textbf{3.83 m}$

C) Range

1. Calculate the time of flight

Use the vertical component of velocity to calculate the time to the maximum height of the stream.

$u_{\text{v}} = at\\t = \dfrac{ u_{\text{v}}}{a} = \dfrac{\text{8.66 m$\cdot$s}^{-1}}{\text{9.8 m$\cdot$s}^{-2}}= \text{0.884 s}$

It will take the same time to reach the ground.

Thus,

Time of flight = 2t = 2 × 0.884 s = 1.77 s

2. Calculate the horizontal distance

s = vt = 5 m·s⁻¹ × 1.77 s = 8.84 m

You should place the drain 8.84 m from the pipe.}

D) Modulus of velocity

The stream of water will hit the drain with the same velocity as when it left the pipe.

Thus, the modulus of the velocity is 10 m/s.

The graph below shows the trajectory of the water stream.

A zookeeper is monitoring the population of birds. The flock needs to have exactly three times more females than males to thrive

KIM [24]

Answer:

The constraints are

$0 < x\leq 20$ and $0 < y\leq 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represent the number of male birds

y ----> represent the number of female birds

we know that

The flock needs to have exactly three times more females than males to thrive

so

$y=3x$ ----> equation A

The zoo only has room for a maximum of 20 male birds

so

$0 < x\leq 20$ ----> inequality B

we know that

The maximum number of male birds is 20

For x=20

substitute in the equation A

$y=3(20)=60$

so

The maximum number of female birds is 60

so

$0 < y\leq 60$ ----> inequality C

therefore

The constraints are

$0 < x\leq 20$ and $0 < y\leq 60$
