7) In an old episode of the TV program McGyver, a planeload of gold was being transported from the SovietUnion to the United States during WWU. The place crashed in the Arctic region. To prevent the "badguys" from getting the gold, the pilot and copilot transferred the gold into a cave by stacking it on a door
of the crashed plane and dragging the "sled" into the cave. You were led to believe in the episode that
they accomplished the move in one trip. The gold was stacked neatly in the shape of a cube, measuring
about 1 meter on a side. Calculate the weight, in tons, of one cubic meter of gold. The density of gold is
19.4 g/cc. Would it have been possible for the two pilots to accomplish this feat? Would a plane of WWII
vintage be able to carry this much gold? (cc = cubic centimeter, 1cm = 1mL)

Answers

Answer 1

Here we need to remember that:

density = mass/volume

Only by using this equation, we will find that the mass of gold is 19,400 kg

In this case, we know that the gold is in the shape of a cube with side length of one meter.

Remember that for a cube of side length L, the volume is:

V = L^3

Then in this case, the volume of the cube of gold will be:

V = (1m)^3  = 1m^3

And we know that the density of the gold is:

density = 19.4 g/cc

cc = cm^3

density = 19.4 g/cm^3

Notice that we have different units of volume, so we would want to write the volume in cm^3

We know that:

1m^3 = (1×10^6)cm^3

Then the volume of the cube of gold is just:

V = (1×10^6)cm^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3

Now let's return to the density equation:

density = mass/volume

Solving for the mass, we get:

density×volume = mass

Now we can replace the two things in the left side:

(19.4 g/cm^3)×(1,000,000 cm^3) = mass = 19,400,000 g

Now remember that:

1000k = 1kg

Then we can rewrite:

mass = 19,400,000 g = (19,400,000/1000)kg = 19,400 kg

So the cube of gold has a mass of  19,400 kg, there is no way that two persons could carry this much gold into a cave.

BRAINLIEST, PLEASE!

Step-by-step explanation:

A(1, 2) B(0, -1) C(3, -2)

The distance between A and B is:

3^2 + 1^2 = c^2

9 + 1 = c^2

c = 10^1/2

The distance between B and C is:

1^2 + 3^2 = c^2

1 + 9 = c^2

c = 10^1/2

The distance between C and A is:

4^2 + 2^2 = c^2

16 + 4 = c^2

c= 20^1/2

Since AB and BC are the same, but AC isn't, the triangle is isosceles.

Someone help pleaseeee
A employer, who started a new business, has promised his employees a minimum starting wage of $3, with an increase of $2 every 4 years. Sketch a graph of wage as a function of time for 16 years. Assume the wages take effect at the beginning of the year where the change is made. (HINT : use a step function to represent the function.)

Upload your graph in the box below.

Answers

Answer:

y = 3 for 0 <= x < 4

y = 5 for 4 <= x < 8

y = 7 for 8 <= x < 12

y = 9 for 12 <= x < 16

y = 11 for 16 <= x < 20

x represents the number of years of employment.

for example, when x = 4, the employee has been there a full 4 years and is entitled to an additional 2 dollars wage to make the total wage equal to 3 + 2 = 5.

your graph stops at x = 16 because that's the number of years being considered.

at x = 16, the wage will be 11 dollars.

the closed circle indicates the value of y is valid at that value of x.

an open circle indicates the value of y is not valid at that value of x.

for example, when x = 4, y = 3 is not valid anymore, but y = 5 is.

on the 16th year of employment, the employee is entitled to an additional 2 dollars wage and starts earning at a wage of 11 dollars.

at employment (x = 0), the employee starts earning a wage of 3 dollars.

at 4 years (x = 4), the employee starts earning a wage of 5 dollars.

at 8 years (x = 8), the employee starts earning a wage of 7 dollars.

at 12 years (x = 12), the employee starts earning a wage of 9 dollars.

at 16 years (x = 16), the employee starts earning a wage of 11 dollars.

x represents a full year of employment.

y represents the wage the employee is entitled to earn.

The sum of three numbers is 576. One of the numbers, n, is 25 percent more than the sum of the other two numbers. what is the value of n?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + n = 576

When something is 25% larger than something else, the effect is the same as multiplying by 1.25. Let's try it with an example

20 + (25/100)* 20 = 20 + 500/100 = 20 + 5 = 25. Now if you multiply 20 * 1.25 you get 25 which is just what you should get.

n = 1.25(x + y)                    Divide by 1.25

n / 1.25 = x + y                   Substitute n / 1.25 for x + y in the above equation    

n/1.25 + n = 576                Multiply everything by 1.25  

n + 1.25n = 576*1.25         Combine the left to get 2.25

2.25 n = 576 * 1.25           Divide by 2.25

n = 576*1.25 / 2.25    

n = 320

a What is the volume of the missing top cone? Give answers correct to the nearest cubic metre.
b What was the volume of the entire cone?
c What is the volume of the frustum?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

all you needed to do was a quick search on the internet : "volume of a cone".

and you get immediately :

pi×r²×h/3

the reason is similar to all other volume formulas : base area times height. for pyramids and cones there are factors included to reduce this a bit, because they simply don't go straight up from their base area, so they have less volume than comparable objects that do go straight up (like a cylinder compared to a cone).

r = radius

h = height

so, for a) we only need to use the calculator :

pi × 5² × 30 / 3 = pi×25×10 = 785.4 ≈ 785 m³

for b) we need to do the same thing, but with r = 10 and h = 60.

pi × 10² × 60 / 3 = pi×100×20 = 6283.2 ≈ 6283 m³

so, for c) we only need to subtract the result of a) from the result of b)

the frustum is the volume of the large cone minus the volume of small, top cone.

6283 - 785 = 5498 m³

the sum of two numbers is 17 and their differance is 3

Answers

Answer:

10 and 7 are the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x and y, ATQ, x+y=17 and x-y=3, solving it we will get x=10 and y=7

The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 3.

Let's define the two numbers as x and y.

Sum of two numbers is 17

x + y = 17

Their difference is 3

x - y = 3

-----------------------------------------

Solve for x

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y

now that we have x, substitued x into x - y = 3

x - y = 3

17 - y - y = 3

17 - 2y = 3

-2y = -14

y = 7

we have y, 7, now let's substitue that into one of the equations to find x

x - y = 3

x - 7 = 3

x -7 + 7 = 3 +7

x = 10
