If 19 out of 28 renters keep a pet, there are $28-19 = 9$ renters who don't keep a pet.

Whenever you have a subset of some set, and you want to know which percentage of the set the subset represents, you simply have to compute

$\dfrac{\text{number of elements in the subset}}{\text{number of elements in the set}}\times 100$

So, in your case, you're wondering what percentage of 28 does 9 represent. So, the formula becomes

$\dfrac{9}{28}\times 100 = 0.32\overline{142857}\times 100 = 32.\overline{142857} \approx 32.14\%$

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 $3.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

The endpoints of (line segment )AB are A(2, 2) and B(3, 8). (line segment ) AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3.5 with the orig

horrorfan [7]

The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) = ( 8 2 ) / ( 3 - 2 ) = 6 / 1
m = 6 ( we have the same slope for AB and A`B` )
AB = √[( 3 - 2 )² + ( 8 - 2 )²] = √37
A`B` = 3.5 √37 = 21.29

Jackson is conducting an experiment for his Physics class. He attaches a weight to the bottom of a metal spring. He then pulls t

olga55 [171]

We have that the spring is going to have a sin or a cos equation. We have that the maximum distance of the spring is 6 inches and it is achieved at t=0. Let's fix this as the positive edge. Until now, we have that the function is of the form:
6sin(at+B). We have that the period is 4 minutes and hence that the time component in the equation needs to make a period (2pi) in 4 minutes. Thus 4min*a=2p, a=2p/4=pi/2. In general, a=2pi/T where a is this coefficient, T is the period. Finally, for B, since sin(pi/2)=1, we have that B=pi/2 because when t=0, we have that 6sin(B)=6. Substituting, we have f(t)=6sin(pi*t/2+pi/2)=6cos(pi*t/2)
by trigonometric identities.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

3 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem in units conversion. We want to get from bags to hours by way of minutes per bag. One bag takes an effort of 2/3 person·minute, so we need to divide the total effort by the number of persons and convert minutes to hours.

(1575 bags)×(2/3 person·min/bag)/(5 person)/(60 min/h)

= (1575)(2/3)(1/5)(1/60) h = 3.5

It will take the 5 of them about 3 1/2 hours to prepare 1575 bags.
