from the equation of motion

u = 5m/s, a = 2m/s2 ${}^{\mathrm{<br>}}$, t = 4s 

s = ut + 12at2 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$

s = 5*4 + 122∗42 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$

s =  20 + 16

s = 36m

Answer Details

To find the mean height of all the students, you need to add up the heights of all the students and divide by the total number of students. First, you need to find the total number of students, which is the sum of 20, 16 and 14 students, which is 50 students in total. Then, you need to find the total height of all the students by multiplying the number of students in each group by their respective mean height and adding them all up. Total height of all students = (20 x 1.67) + (16 x 1.50) + (14 x 1.40) = 33.4 + 24 + 19.6 = 77 meters Finally, to find the mean height of all the students, you need to divide the total height of all the students by the total number of students: Mean height of all students = Total height of all students / Total number of students = 77 / 50 = 1.54 meters Therefore, the answer is 1.54m.

2x2 ${}^{\mathrm{<br>}}$ + 2y2 ${}^{\mathrm{<br>}}$ - x - 3y - 41

standard equation of circle
(x-a)2 ${}^2$ + (x-b)2 ${}^2$ = r2 ${}^2$
General form of equation of a circle.
x2 ${}^2$ + y2 ${}^2$ + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
a = -g, b = -f., r2 = g2 + f2 - c
the centre of the circle is (a,b)
comparing the equation with the general form of equation of circle.
2x2 ${}^2$ + 2y2 ${}^2$ - x - 3y - 41

= x2 ${}^2$ + y2 ${}^2$ + 2gx + 2fy + c
2x2 ${}^2$ + 2y2 ${}^2$ - x - 3y - 41 = 0
divide through by 2

g = −14 $\frac{<br>}{}$ ; 2g = −12 $\frac{<br>}{}$

f = −34 $\frac{<br>}{}$ ; 2f = −32 $\frac{<br>}{}$

a = -g  → - −14 $\frac{-}{}$ ; = 14 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$

b = -f → - (\frac{-3}{4}\) = (\frac{3}{4}\)

therefore the centre is (14 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$, 34 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{\mathrm{<br>}}$)

Converting the forces to their rectangular forms
F = (10N, 060º)
Fx = 10cos60 = 5i
fy = 10sin60 = 8.66j
F = 5i + 8.66j
P = (15N, 120º)
Px = 15cos120 = -7.5i
py = 15sin120 = 12.99j
P = -7.5i + 12.99j
Q = (12N, 200º)
Qx = 12cos200 = -11.28i
Qy = 12sin200 = -4.1j
Q = -11.28i -4.1j
The resultant force = F + P + Q
R = 5i + 8.66j + (-7.5i + 12.99j) + (-11.28i -4.1j)
R = -13.78i + 17.55j

Answer Details

To find the probability that at least one student will graduate, we can calculate the probability that no student will graduate and then subtract that from 1. The probability that a student will not graduate from college is 1 - 0.4 = 0.6. So, the probability that none of the three selected students will graduate is: 0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6 = 0.216 Therefore, the probability that at least one student will graduate is: 1 - 0.216 = 0.784 So, the answer is 0.78. In summary, the probability that at least one student will graduate from college given that 3 students are selected is 0.784 or 0.78, which is obtained by subtracting the probability that none of the three students will graduate from 1.

To find the mode of the distribution, we need to identify the value with the highest frequency. In the table, the frequency is given for each distance (in km) covered by the hunters. Let's first find the frequency of distance 5 km covered by the hunters. From the table, we know that the sum of all frequencies should be equal to 40, the total number of hunters. Sum of frequencies = 5 + 4 + x + 9 + 2x + 1 = 40 Simplifying the equation, we get: 3x + 19 = 40 3x = 21 x = 7 Now we know that the frequency of distance 5 km is x = 7. The frequencies for the other distances are: - Frequency of distance 3 km = 5 - Frequency of distance 4 km = 4 - Frequency of distance 6 km = 9 - Frequency of distance 7 km = 2x = 14 - Frequency of distance 8 km = 1 The highest frequency is 14, which corresponds to the distance of 7 km. Therefore, the mode of the distribution is 7 km. Hence, the answer is option (C) 7.
