A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air. The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential energy store as a

result. What is the mass of the toddler? Give your answer to 1 decimal place. (Assume that the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg.)

The toddler weighs 12.5 kg.

In-depth explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep=mgh where;

Ep=gravitational potential energy

m=mass of an object

g=gravitational field strength

h=height in meters

Given that; h= 1.5m, Ep=187.5J, g=10 N/kg then finding m;

Ep=mgh

187.5=m*10*1.5

187.5=15m

187.5/15 =15m/15

m=12.5 kg

When you own a pet, there are one-time costs, such as a leash, and continuing costs, such as food. Suppose the one-time costs fo
Zina [9179]

Response:

Yearly average cost = 400 + 180/x

Detailed explanation:

Utilizing the equation y=mx+b

The value of b represents the initial costs or the y intercept, reflecting the start-up expenses

m signifies the cost increase per each unit of x, which is 400 each year

Total costs = 400x + 180

To determine the yearly average cost, we must divide by x

Average yearly cost = (400x + 180)/x

= 400 + 180/x

Justin has $7.50 more then Eva, and Emma has $12 less than Justin. Together, they have a total of $63.00. How much money does ea
lawyer [9240]
To clarify, let's use abbreviations: J for Justin, E for Eva, and M for Emma. Then, J = E + 7.50 and M = J - 12. Along with that, J + E + M = 63. You can substitute M into the third equation using the second equation and arrive at: J + E + J - 12 = 63. Simplifying gives us: 2J + E = 75. Since J equals E + 7.50, substitute that into the equation to find: 2(E + 7.50) + E = 75. This leads to 2E + 15 + E = 75, simplifying to 3E + 15 = 75, hence 3E = 60 which implies E = 20; therefore, Eva has $20. Justin has $7.50 more than Eva, totaling $27.50. Emma has $12 less than Justin, coming to $15.50. Verify by ensuring their totals sum to 63, which they do.

Miranda bought a square frame that has an area of 30 square inches what is the approximate side lenght of the frame
babunello [8423]
The area of a square is calculated by squaring the side length (A = s²). Consequently, 30 = s². Taking the square root gives us s = √30. A calculator shows that √30 is approximately 5.48, or through estimation, we can see that √25 < √30 < √36, suggesting that √30 falls between 5 and 6.

Five thousand dollars compounded annually at an x% interest rate takes six years to double. At the same interest rate, how many
Leona [9271]
$5,000.00 invested for a period of 6 years doubles to $10,000.00.
What is the interest rate?

You will need to apply logarithms:
<span>log(1 + rate) = {log(total) - log(Principal)} ÷ Years
</span>log(1 + rate) = <span>{log(10,000) - log(5,000)} ÷ 6
</span>log(1 + rate) = (4 - 3.6989700043) / 6
log(1 + rate) = <span> <span> <span> 0.301029957 / 6
</span></span></span>log(1 + rate) = <span> <span> <span> 0.0501716595 </span> </span> </span>
Next, raise 10 to the power of <span> <span> <span> 0.0501716595 </span> </span> </span> which results in
<span> <span> <span> 1.1224620317 </span> </span> </span>
This value represents 1 plus the interest rate, so the interest rate is
0.1224620317 or 12.24620317 percent.
This concludes Part ONE.
Now, onto Part TWO.

How many years does it take for $300 to increase to $9,600 at an annual rate of <span>12.24620317%?
You will use the following formula:
</span>(More logarithms involved).
Years = {log(total) - log(Principal)} ÷ log(1 + rate)
Years = {log(9,600) - log(300)} / log(<span>1.1224620317)
</span>Years = (3.982271233 - 2.4771212547) / 0.050171659518
<span><span><span>Years = 1.5051499783 /  </span> </span> </span>.050171659518
Years = 30
