Answer:

31 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the speed of the skier at the bottom of the slope, you have to apply the Work-Energy Principle for mechanical energy.

W ncf= ΔEm

Where ΔEm is the variation of mechanical energy between two points of the displacement and Wncf is the work of all non-conservative forces.

The only non-conservative force producing work is the friction force. The normal force doesn't produce work because it's perpendicular to the displacement.

The variation of the mechanical energy can be considered from the top to the bottom of the slope.

Wncf= Emf-Emi

Where Emf is the final mechanicl energy and Emi is the initial mechanical energy.

The mechanical energy is defined by:

Em= Ep+Ek

Where Ep is the potential energy and Ek is the kinetic energy.

At the top of the slope, there's only potential gravitational energy (the kinetic  energy is zero because the skier starts from rest)

Emi=Ep= mgh

m=60 kg, g=9.8 m/s² and h=50 m

Emi= 29400 J

At the bottom of the slope, there's only kinetic energy (the potential gravitational energy is zero because the height is zero)

Emf= Ek = 1/2mv² =30v²

where v is the speed and m is the mass.

Replacing in the equation:

-6.0 = 30v² - 29400

Solving for v (Adding 29400, dividing by 30, extracting the square root)

v=31.3 m/s

Diagram for part A and part C is attached herewith.

Solving for part B:-

Given is the circle O. We start with drawing two radii OA and OC, then we join two points A and C to make a chord AC of the circle. Now The radius of the circle intersects the chord AC at point B such that it bisects AC into two equal parts AB and BC. Now we have two triangles ΔOBA and ΔOBC. In these two triangles, we have OA=OC (radii of circle), OB=OB (reflexive property), and BA=BC (given in the question). Using SSS congruency of triangles we can say ΔOBA≡ΔOBC and using CPCTC, we can conclude ∡OBA=∡OBC (=90°). Hence OB⊥AC i.e. OB is perpendicular to AC.

Solving for part D:-

Given is the circle O. We start with drawing two radii OA and OC, then we join two points A and C to make a chord AC of the circle. Now The radius of the circle intersects the chord AC at point B such that AB is perpendicular to AC i.e. ∡B=90°. Now we have two Right triangles ΔOBA and ΔOBC. In these two triangles, we have OA=OC (radii of circle), OB=OB (reflexive property). Using HL congruency of right triangles we can say ΔOBA≡ΔOBC and using CPCTC, we can conclude BA=BC. Hence OB bisects AC into AB=BC.

Researchers are studying populations of two squirrels, the eastern gray and the western gray. For the eastern gray squirrel, abo
Tresset [83]

Answer:

p₁  -  p₂  = ( -0,28 . 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Eastern gray squirrel

Sample size    n₁  = 60

p₁  =  22 %        p₁  = 0,22       then     q₁  = 1 - 0,22      q₁ = 0,88

Western gray squirrel

Sample size  n₂  =  120

p₂ = 36%     p₂ = 0,36     Then    q₂  =  1  - 0,36     q₂  =  0,64

p (s)  = ( p₁ - p₂ ) /√ (p₁*q₁ ) / n₁   +  (p₂*q₂/ n₂)

p(s)  = ( 0,22 -  0,36 ) /√ (0,22*0,88)/60  +  ( 0,36*0,64)/120

p(s)  =  -0,14 /0,071

p(s) = - 1,9718

Then

CI = (  p₁ - p₂ ) ± p(s) *EED

EED =  /√ (p₁*q₁ ) / n₁   +  (p₂*q₂/ n₂)   = 0,071

CI = (  - 0,14  ±  1,9718 * 0,071 )

CI =  ( - 0,14  ±  0,14 )

CI =  ( - 0,28 ;  0 )

we will find with 95% of confidence the mean of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportion in the interval  ( -0,28 , 0 )

p₁  -  p₂  = ( -0,28 . 0 )

The figure shows a square floor plan with a smaller square area that will accommodate a combination fountain and pool.The floor
dem82 [27]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (7, 4) meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the floor without the removal is x^2, so with the smaller square removed, it is x^2 -y^2.

The perimeter of the floor is the sum of all side lengths, so is 4x +2y.

The given dimensions tell us ...

  x^2 -y^2 = 33

  4x +2y = 36

From the latter equation, we can write an expression for y:

  y = 18 -2x

Substituting this into the first equation gives ...

  x^2 -(18 -2x)^2 = 33

  x^2 -(324 -72x +4x^2) = 33

  3x^2 -72x + 357 = 0 . . . . write in standard form

  3(x -7)(x -17) = 0 . . . . . factor

Solutions to this equation are x=7 and x=17. However, for y > 0, we must have x < 9.

  y = 18 -2(7) = 4

The floor dimension x is 7 meters; the inset dimension y is 4 meters.

Devon exercised the same amount of time each day for 5 days last week. e His exercise included walking and swimming. e Each day
prohojiy [21]
I think that Devon swam at least 35 minutes each day for 5 days because if he exercised 225 minutes and each day he walked for 10 minutes then if you divide 225 by 5 you get 45 so every day he exercised 45 minutes and since he walked for 10 minutes you subtract 10 from 45 which gives you 35 so he swam for 35 minutes.

A bag contains 100 marbles which are red, green, and blue. Suppose a student randomly selects a marble without looking, records
ra1l [238]

Answer:

35 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

So we can put the different color marbles in a ratio. So 7:2:11. If we add all of those up we get 20. We do 100/20 to get 5. Each number in the ratio is equivalent to 5 marbles. Then we do 7*5 to get 35. We can check our work by doing, (7*5) + (2*5) + (11*5) = 100. And it does equal 100 so the answer is correct.
