A child rides a pony on a circular track whose radius is 5.25 m. a) Find the distance traveled and the displacement after the ch

ild has gone halfway around the track. b) Does the distance traveled increase, decrease or stay the same when the child completed one circuit of the track?

Answer:

a) The distance covered halfway = 16.49 [m], while the displacement at that point = 10.5 [m]b)

The distance traveled increases

when the child finishes one lap around the track.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Distance is a scalar measurement

that indicates how much ground an object has traversed in motion. Contrarily, displacement is a vector measurement which describes how far an object is from its original position after moving.

In this scenario, the child travels halfway around the circular track from point 1 to point 2. We know that the circumference or perimeter of a circle can be calculated as 2*PI*radius. Since the child only covers half the distance, we need to divide the circumference by 2, leading to distance = PI*radius

The halfway distance = (PI)*(5.25) = 16.49 [m]
Considering the definition of displacement, it’s clear that the distance from point 1 to point 2 equals one diameter from the starting point:

The halfway displacement = D = 2*radius = 2(5.25) = 10.5 [m]

b) What occurs to the distance after the child completes one full circuit? The distance will increase since the child covers more ground during the full lap:

  • The distance for one circuit = 2*(PI)*radius = 2(PI)(5.25) = 32.99 [m]

32.99 is greater than 16.49, confirming that the distance does indeed increase.

zzz [9093]
In this situation, we start with the following equation: To isolate the value of y, we follow these steps: First, we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation: Second, we take away "y" from each side: Third, we add 4y to both sides of the equation: Finally, we divide the equation by 4. Thus, y equals 5. Answer: Option C.

The formula F=9/5(k-273.15)+32 converts a temperature from kelvin K to degrees Fahrenheit F.
Svet_ta [9518]

Step One

Deduct 32 from both sides.

F - 32 = \frac{9}{5}(k - 273.15)

Step Two

Multiply each side by \frac{5}{9}.

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times \frac{9}{5}(k - 273.15)

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) = k - 273.15

Step Three

Add 273.15 to both sides.

\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) + 273.15 = k

Problem B

F = 180

Solve for k

k = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) + 273.15

k = \frac{5}{9}(180 - 32) + 273.15

k = \frac{5}{9} \times 148 + 273.15

k = 82.2222 + 273.15

k = 355.3722

k = 355.4  <<< Answer

tester [8842]
Hello! You need to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean lifespan between two tire brands. Each tested car was assigned one tire from each brand randomly on the rear wheels, allowing for paired sample analysis.       Brand 1  Brand 2  X₁-X₂      car 1:  36,925;  34,318;  2.607      car 2:  45,300;  42,280;  3.020      car 3:  36,240;  35,500;  0.740      car 4:  32,100;  31,950;  0.150      car 5:  37,210;  38,015;  -0.0805      car 6:  48,360;  47,800;  1.160      car 7:  38,200;  37,810;  0.390      car 8:  33,500;  33,215;  0.285      n= 8 The study variable is defined as Xd= X₁-X₂, where X₁ represents the tire lifespan (in km) from Brand 1 and X₂ represents Brand 2. Thus, Xd is the difference in tire lifespan. Xd~N(μd;δd²) (normality test p-value is 0.4640). For calculating the confidence interval, the best statistic is the Student's t using the following formula: t= (xd[bar] - μd)/(Sd/√n) ~t₍ₙ₋₁₎ sample mean: xd[bar]= 0.94 standard deviation: Sd= 1.29 = 3.355 xd[bar] ± t_{8;0.995}*(Sd/√n) ⇒ 0.94 ± 3.355*(1.29/√8) [-0.65;2.54]km. The CI can be compared to bilateral hypothesis testing: H₀:μd=0 H₁:μd≠0 using significance level of 0.01. Since the confidence interval includes zero, we do not reject the null hypothesis, indicating no significant difference between the tire brands. Hope you have a fantastic day!

What is the domain of the square root function graphed below ?
AnnZ [9104]

The graph indicates that x never goes below 0. This means the point (-1,0) is not included in the graph. Therefore, D is the only valid option.
