@ fustina

I'll go with d , might as well admit that am ignorant of it

i go with the apocalypse on this,

spikedcylinder:

Correct.
Any two numbers next to each other will consist of an odd number and an even number. The sum of an odd number and an even number is always odd.

spiked, the q is not complete,,,,  there are 11 numbers if the numbers are paired up there will be one more number.

morenike im fine tx

An elf wrote the numbers 5 through 15 in a straight line. On adding any two numbers next to each other, the elf found the sum to be an odd number.

True or False?

That was the question

Correct.
Any two numbers next to each other will consist of an odd number and an even number. The sum of an odd number and an even number is always odd.

And that was the answer.


What part did you not get biolabee?

@spike

There was this thread I made a few remarks which were , to say the least , derogatory but am happy you have taken it in good stride.

can you believe that I was actually waiting for your location to load.

Barrier constructed across a stream or river to hold water and raise its level is called?

a. Bridge

b. Lighthouse

c. Dam

d. Levee

Please does a bridge hold water and raise its level?

The second question asked. the answer should be a dam.

If f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 2, what is f(x)?

A. 2x

B. 2x - 1

C. (1/2)*2^x

D. 3x - 1

E. -2^x

D. . . .right?

Dark_Rxn:

D. . . .right?

Correct!

Let,
I = increase
D = decrease
C = remain constant.
So, x=I,D,C means x increases, then remains constant and finally decreases.

Einstein's theory of relativity tells us that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. From Newton's laws of motion, we know that applying a force F to a body of mass m will increase the acceleration a of the body. Imagine a situation where we apply a sustained amount of force on a given body.


Question 1:
Using the IDC notation given above, explain the effect of this sustained application of force on the body's mass m and acceleration a, given that the body is initially at rest.

Example solutions:
i. m=C and a=D implies that mass remains constant and acceleration decreases

ii. m=D,I,C and a=I,C implies that mass decreases, then increases and finally remains constant and acceleration increases and then remains constant.


Question 2:
Based on the IDC notation given above, what is the total possible number of explanations of the behavior of the body's mass m and acceleration a?

R.B, will answer you later

Elos Agos:

Answer is B. STROMA

Wrong!
Light Rxn takes place in the thylakoids.
Dark Rxn takes place in the stroma

That was the question

And that was the answer.

richy

1)a = I,C

2) a) a = 0 the force is not enuff
` b) a = I,C increase from 0 and stay constant (inertia)
c) a = D decelerations occurs steadily

richy

1)a = I,C

a = I,C means acceleration increases and then remains constant.

This description for the acceleration is incorrect. In addition, you didn't outline a solution for mass, m, e.g. m = C which means mass will remain constant.

2) a) a = 0 the force is not enough
`   b) a = I,C increase from 0 and stay constant (inertia)
     c) a = D decelerations occurs steadily

You outline three possible solutions.

The number of possible solutions is much greater than that. Also, you didn't give any description for the mass m. There has to be a description for both acceleration and mass.

Good attempts!

PHEMOUR:

I know . I'll post the solution later today. I hope someone will give a correct solution by then.

Question 2:

Restrict the length of the explanation to three. So the following are valid explanations:
i. m = I,D and a = D,I,C
ii. m = I,C,D and a = C

Explanations of length greater than 3 are not valid, e.g.:
i. m = I,D,C,D,I and a = I,C,D,I
ii. m = D,I,D,I and a = D,C,D,I,C

This hint decreases the size of the set of possible explanations. Without restricting the length, the size of the set of all possible explanations using the IDC notation above would be infinite!

Richy don come with his hopelessly difficult math questions.

Ah! I don't take anything on here seriously o. . .

You were waiting for it to load?

I didn't ask you to pair up the numbers. I only asked if on adding any two numbers next to each other, your resulting answer would be an odd number. Read the question well o.

DavidDylan:

David, you dey craze o!

But really, it's not that hard. Q1 is physics and Q2 is combinatorics (math).


More hints:

Assume F = ma (Newton's second law of motion)

So, whatever happens we want F to remain constant (very useful hint).

Using classical (Newtonian) physics, the solution is m = C and a = C.

But constant acceleration guarantees that the velocity will ultimately exceed the speed of light, which goes against the theory of relativity.

There are 13 balloons in the red box, 39 balloons in the blue box, 25 balloons in the green box, and 50 balloons in the yellow box, children can decorate a party room for Christmas with 114 balloons from only three boxes.

True or False?

True or False?

True, from the blue, green and yellow boxes (39 + 25 + 50 = 114).

RichyBlacK:

True, from the blue, green and yellow boxes (39 + 25 + 50 = 114).

Correct.

No balloons are needed from the red box.

spiky i don hear

RichyBlacK:

I know  . I'll post the solution later today. I hope someone will give a correct solution by then.

Solution

Q1

F = ma (Newton's 2nd law).

Applied force F is constant (given).

Initial velocity v of the body = 0 (given; body at rest).

Sustained F implies constant acceleration.

Constant acceleration increases v, the body's velocity.

From theory of relativity, the body's velocity v cannot be greater than the speed of light c.

So, v increase and asymptotically reaches c.

As v approaches c, the body's acceleration decreases and approaches zero (recall that at constant speed, acceleration is zero).

If applied force is sustained and the acceleration begins to decrease (so that v respects the bound placed by the speed of light), then the relativity theory predicts that the mass of the body increases!

Theoretically, if the speed of the body reaches the speed of light and remains constant at that speed, then the body will possess infinite mass! Also, at such a speed the body acquires the properties of a wave.

Solution: m = C,I and a = C,D  (if body does not reach the speed of light; this is the more likely scenario)

Q2

All possible explanations for mass m:

1. C
2. D
3. I
4. C,D
5. C,I
6. D,C
7. D,I
8. I,C
9. I,D
10. D,C,D
11. D,C,I
12. D,I,D
13. D,I,C
14. I,C,D
15. I,C,I
16. I,D,C
17. I,D,I
18. C,D,I
19. C,D,C
20. C,I,D
21. C,I,C


So, the number of possible explanations = 21 x 21 = 441
