Answer:

The weight of the parcel is 5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Weight can be calculated using the equation:

$W=mg$

where

W ----> weight (W) is measured in newtons (N)

m ----> mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg)

g ----> gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg)

In this problem we have

$g=10\ N/kg$

$m=500\ g$

Remember that

$1\ kg=1,000\ g$

To convert g to kg

Divide by 1,000

$m=500\ g=500/1,000=0.5\ kg$

substitute the values in the equation

$W=(0.5)(10)=5\ N$

therefore

The weight of the parcel is 5 N

Answer:

$6,020,826.711

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value of that year salary is shown below:

As we know that

Present value in case of continuous compounding, the formula is

$= \frac{Guaranteed\ amount}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}$

where,

The Guaranteed amount is $9,000,000

The Time period is 6 years

And, the interest rate is 6.7%

Now placing these values

So, the present value is

$= \frac{\$9,000,000}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}$

= $6,020,826.711

Use the Midpoint Formula three times to find the three points that divide the line segment joining (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) into fo

fredd [130]

We are given points $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ .

We first find the midpoint M, of AB, which divides the segment AB into 2 equal parts,

then we find the midpoint N of AM, and midpoint K of MB.

Thus each of the half parts is divided into 2 equal parts. The whole segment is divided into 4 equal parts.

The coordinates of M, N and K are found as follows:

the coordinates of M are: $( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

the coordinates of N are:

$\displaystyle{( \frac{x_1+\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}}{2} , \frac{y_1+\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}}{2})=( \frac{\frac{2x_1+x_1+x_2}{2}}{2} , \frac{\frac{2y_1+y_1+y_2}{2}}{2})$

$=\displaystyle{(\frac{3x_1+x_2}{4}, \frac{3y_1+y_2}{4})}$

similarly, the coordinates of k are:

$=\displaystyle{(\frac{x_1+3x_2}{4}, \frac{y_1+3y_2}{4})}$
