Let's assume David's average speed is S km/h.

A) To find David's average speed, we can use the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

David completed the race in 5 hours, so his speed is S km/h. Therefore, we have:

S = Distance / 5

B) Ken's average speed is 9.8 km/h less than David's average speed, which means Ken's average speed is (S - 9.8) km/h.

Ken took 7 hours to complete the race, so we have:

S - 9.8 = Distance / 7

Now, we can solve the system of equations to find the values of S and Distance.

From equation (1): S = Distance / 5

Substitute this into equation (2):

Distance / 5 - 9.8 = Distance / 7

Multiply both sides of the equation by 35 to eliminate the denominators:

7 * Distance - 35 * 9.8 = 5 * Distance

7 * Distance - 343 = 5 * Distance

Subtract 5 * Distance from both sides:

2 * Distance - 343 = 0

Add 343 to both sides:

2 * Distance = 343

Divide both sides by 2:

Distance = 343 / 2 = 171.5 km

Therefore, the distance of the cycling race is 171.5 kilometers.

To find David's average speed, substitute the distance into equation (1):

S = Distance / 5 = 171.5 / 5 = 34.3 km/h

So, David's average speed was 34.3 km/h.\(\)

Answer:

A) 34.3 km/h

B) 171.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Ken's average speed is said to be 9.8km/h less than David's average speed, and we know that Ken's average speed is dependent on him traveling for 7 hours, then we have our equation to get the distance of the cycling race:

\(\text{Ken's Avg. Speed}=\text{David's Avg. Speed}\,-\,9.8\\\\\frac{\text{Distance}}{7}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{5}-9.8\\\\\frac{5(\text{Distance})}{7}=\text{Distance}-49\\\\5(\text{Distance})=7(\text{Distance})-343\\\\-2(\text{Distance})=-343\\\\\text{Distance}=171.5\text{ km}\)

This distance for the cycling race can now be used to determine David's average speed:

\(\text{David's Avg. Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{5}=\frac{171.5}{5}=34.3\text{ km/h}\)

Therefore, David's average speed was 34.3 km/h and the distance of the cycling race was 171.5 km.

The value of Zeff for a valence electron in carbon using slater's rule is equals to 3.60.

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) for a valence electron in carbon using Slater's rules,

Consider the shielding effect of the inner electrons.

Slater's rules state that the effective nuclear charge felt by an electron in an atom = the actual nuclear charge minus the shielding constant for that electron.

The shielding constant for an electron in a particular shell is determined by summing the contributions of all the electrons in inner shells.

Slater assigned the following shielding constants for each shell,

Electrons in the same shell contribute 0.35

Electrons in the next inner shell contribute 0.85

Electrons in all inner shells beyond that contribute 1.00

Carbon has an atomic number of 6, so it has six electrons.

The first two electrons are in the inner shell, leaving four valence electrons in the outer shell.

Zeff for a valence electron in carbon,

Consider the contributions of the inner electrons.

Two electrons in the 1s orbital contribute

2× 0.35 = 0.70 to the shielding constant.

The two electrons in the 2s orbital contribute

2 × 0.85 = 1.70 to the shielding constant.

There are no electrons in the 2p orbitals,

This implies,

They do not contribute to the shielding constant.

Thus, the effective nuclear charge felt by a valence electron in carbon is,

Zeff

= 6 - 0.70 - 1.70

= 3.60

Rounding to two decimal places, we get,

Zeff = 3.60

Therefore, the Zeff for a valence electron in carbon is equals to 3.60.

The mean absolute deviation is 0.75

To calculate the mean absolute deviation (M.A.D.), you need to find the average of the absolute differences between each data point and the mean of the data set

From the information given, we have that the data set is;

8 9 9 7 8 6 9 8

Let's calculate the mean, we get;

Mean = (8 + 9 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 8) / 8

Mean = 64 / 8

Divide the values

Mean = 8

Let's determine the absolute difference, we get;

Absolute differences=

|8 - 8| = 0

|9 - 8| = 1

|9 - 8| = 1

|7 - 8| = 1

|8 - 8| = 0

|6 - 8| = 2

|9 - 8| = 1

|8 - 8| = 0

Find the mean of the absolute differences:

Average of absolute differences = (0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 0) / 8

The image's distance from the mirror is -1.87, by using the mirror equation.

Note:-  Although the question is missing, I believe the issue is asking where the image is located.

To find the solution to the problem, the mirror equation can be used:

Mirror equation =  \(\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{d_{o} }+\frac{1}{d_{i} }\)

Where,

f = mirror's focal length

\(d_{o}\) = object's distance from the mirror

\(d_{i}\) =  image's distance from the mirror

The focal length is assumed to be negative for a convex mirror in our problem.

f = -2.8 m

The object's distance (do) = 5.6m

By using the mirror equation, the image's distance from the mirror can be determined

\(\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{d_{o} }+\frac{1}{d_{i} }\)

i.e, \(\frac{1}{d_{i} } = \frac{1}{f} -\frac{1}{d_{o} }\)

= \(-\frac{1}{2.8} -\frac{1}{5.6}\) =  \(-\frac{3}{5.6}\)

= - 0.5357

\(d_{i} =\) \(-\frac{5.6}{3}\)

= -1.87 m

Answer: $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = 15%

The original price/value of an item is always 100%

So selling price (%) = original price - discount = 100%-15% = 85%

We got selling price as 85%

This implies that 85% = 340

Let's find 1% first, then 100%

1% = 340÷85 = 4

100% = 4 × 100 = $400

The usual (normal/original) price is $400

Juan sold a bicycle at a discount of 15% if the selling price was $340 then the usual price of the bicycle was $400.

percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.

Let's represent the usual price of the bicycle by P.

Since Juan sold the bicycle at a discount of 15%, the selling price (S) would be 85% of the usual price (P).

We can express this relationship as an equation:

S = 0.85P

We also know that the selling price of the bicycle was $340.

Substituting S = $340 into the equation above, we get:

$340 = 0.85P

To find P, we can solve for it:

P = $340 / 0.85

P = $400

Therefore, the usual price of the bicycle was $400.

Given are the closing prices of two stocks in three days.

If you purchase 65 shares of Metropolis stock and 50 shares of Suburbia stock on Day 1 at the closing price,

Amount invested = (65 × 17.95) + (50 × 5.63) = $1448.25

If the stock is sold in day 2,

Amount received = (65 × 18.25) + (50 × 4.98) = $1435.25

Profit = $1435.25 - $1448.25 = -$13

If the stock is sold in day 3,

Amount received = (65 × 18.28) + (50 × 5.25) = $1450.7

Profit = $1450.7 - $1448.25 = $2.45
