if a trail runner zig-zags 15m to the west and then 15m to the east:

what is the runner's total distance?
what is the runner's total displacement?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total distance = 30m

Total displacement = 0m

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Distance is a scalar quantity that does not specify direction

Hence if a trail runner zig-zags 15m to the west and then 15m to the east, the total distance will be the sum of the distance travelled both to the west and east.

total distance =  distance through west + distance through east

total distance = 15m + 15m

total distance = 30m

Hence the runner's total distance is 30m

b) Displacement is a vector quantity and it specifies direction. Hence we will take into consideration the direction taken

Since East direction is positive, the displacement through east is +15m

Since West direction is negative, the displacement through west is -15m

Total displacement  = +15 - 15

Total displacement = 0m

Hence the runner's total displacement is 0m

Question:

Mancini's Pizzeria sells four types of pizza crust. Last week, the owner tracked the number sold of each type, and this is what he found.

Type of Crust Number Sold

Thin crust          312

Thick crust          245

Stuffed crust          179

Pan style                  304

Based on this information, of the next  4500 pizzas he sells, how many should he expect to be thick crust? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.

Answer:

1060 thick crusts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The above table

Required

Expected number of thick crust for the next 4500

For last week data, calculate the proportion of thick crust sold

[tex]\hat p = \frac{Thick\ crust}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]\hat p = \frac{245}{312+245+179+304}[/tex]

[tex]\hat p = \frac{245}{1040}[/tex]

[tex]\hat p = 0.235577[/tex]

For the next 4500;

[tex]n = 4500[/tex]

The expected number of thick crust is (E(x)):

[tex]E(x) = \hat p * n[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 0.235577 * 4500[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 1060.0965[/tex]

[tex]E(x) \approx 1060[/tex]

The Willis Tower In Chicago is 1,451 FEET tall. The Transamerica Pyramid is San Francisco is 10,236 INCHES tall. How do these two compare?

Answers

Answer:

Willis Towers is 1.7 times bigger than the Transamerica pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

The Willis Tower In Chicago is 1,451 FEET tall. The Transamerica Pyramid is San Francisco is 10,236 INCHES tall. How do these two compare?

Note that

1 foot = 12 inches

We convert the height of willis tower to inches

1 foot = 12 inches.

1,451 feet = x inches

Cross Multiply

x = 1451 × 12 inches

x = 17412 inches

Comparing the two buildings

Willis Tower : Transamerica pyramid

1,7412 inches : 10,236 Inches

= 1.7010550996 : 1

Therefore,

Willis Towers is 1.7 times bigger than the Transamerica pyramid

Andrea constructed a triangle. Angle 1 and 3 are the same size and angle 2 has a measurement of 70 degrees. What is the measurement of angle 1 and 3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By triangle sum theorem,

Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

(m∠1 + m∠3) + m∠2 = 180°

2(m∠1) + 70° = 180° {Given → m∠1 = m∠3]

2(m∠1) = 110°

m∠1 = 55°

Therefore, m∠1 = m∠3 = 55°

One of the objectives for this lesson is to find the length of a curve using the z score.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "True".

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score value shows how often standard deviations were away from the earth. If it is 0, it is on average. The positive Z sign indicates that perhaps the raw mark is greater than the average. While z-score is equivalent to +1, for example, it is a standard deviation of 1 above average. This can be used for implementing series and also for comparing the trend of mortality among various individuals or between various periods and by using the z score we find the curve length, that's why it is correct.

3y= 5y-16

Then you would solve the equations

5x-10 = 7x-20

5x +10= 7x

-5x        -5x
