Need help with Physics problem?
A force with magnitude (5.00N/m^2)x^2 and directed at a constant angle of 31.0∘ with the + x axis acts on an object of mass 0.250 kg as the object moves parallel to the x-axis. There are no other forces on the object that have components parallel to the x axis.
How fast is the object moving at x = 1.50 m if it has a speed of 4.00 m/s at x = 1.00 m?
Can someone give an explanation on how to do it?
1 AnswerPhysics8 years agoHelp with these word problems?
The first one is:
If the circumference of a circle is multiplied by 5, by how much is the area multiplied?
The answer should be 25 but I keep on getting 10.
The second seems way easier but I don't seem to be getting the right number.
If the price of a plane ticket has increased by 15% to $172.50, what was the cost before the increase?
The answer should be a flat $150 but I keep on getting $146.62.
Could someone please enlighten me by showing how to do this?

1 AnswerMathematics10 years agoHow would you go abotu simplifying this?
Simplify and express without radicals.
√(x)/11th√(x)
I've been stuck on this. Please show how to do it as well.
Btw, that is the 11th root of x if you didn't catch that. The answer should be x^9/22

1 AnswerMathematics1 decade agoHow are you supposed to solve this?
You are supposed to solve by completing the square.
The question is:
2x^2+3x-17=0
I know you're supposed to add 17 to the other side then divide the second term by 2 then square it but in this case what do you do?
(Yeah I know I asked this but I made a minor mistake that changed the whole problem and the result.) =\

3 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoWhich trucks are better to use for skateboarding? Ventures or Independent?
Alright so I'm getting my new board in a few days but I cant quite decide which to get. Ventures or Independent? I just thought it'd be good to get opinions of others before I fully decide. I hear Independent trucks are heavy but very good and decent. And I hear that ventures are light and good but dont last real long. I heard Thunders are good from some friends but they seem to heavy to me. The board I want is a light one.
