- Copper Cu wire
Copper wire with a diameter of 1 mm and a weight of 350 g is wound on a spool. Calculate its length if the copper density is p = 8.9 g/cm cubic. - Birthday paradox
How large must the group of people be so that the probability that two people have a birthday on the same day of the year is greater than 90%? - Cyclist 12
What is the average speed of a cycle traveling at 20 km in 60 minutes in km/h? - Side lengths
In the triangle ABC, the height to the side a is 6cm. The height to side b is equal to 9 cm. Side "a" is 4 cm longer than side "b". Calculate the side lengths a, b. - The farmer
The farmer calculated that the supply of fodder for his 20 cows was enough for 60 days. He decided to sell 2 cows and a third of the feed. How long will the feed for the rest of the peasant's herd last? - The coal
The coal stock would be enough to heat a larger room for 12 weeks, a smaller one for 18 weeks. It was heated for four weeks in both rooms, then only in a smaller one. How long was the coal stock enough? - A particle
A particle moves in a straight line so that its velocity (m/s) at time t seconds is given by v(t) = 3t2-4t-4, t>0. Initially the particle is 8 meters to the right of a fixed origin. After how many seconds is the particle at the origin? - Digging
The first worker would dig a trench in 6 hours. For the second, the same work would take 4 hours. How long did it take for the trench to be dug if they worked together? - Closed circuit
In a closed circuit, there is a voltage source with U1 = 12 V and with an internal resistance R1 = 0.2 Ω. The external resistance is R2 = 19.8 Ω. Determine the electric current and terminal voltage. - Seven
Seven dwarfs will cut 420 stumps in 15 hours. After five hours, the two dwarves disappear discreetly. How many hours will the remaining dwarves complete the task? - Energy consumption
The device is connected to 230V and draws 3.5A current. Power consumption is 1932kJ. How many minutes has this device been in operation? - Two trains
The train runs at speed v1 = 72 km/h. The passenger, sitting in the train, observed that a train long l = 75m in 3 s passed on the other track in the opposite direction. Calculate the speed of this train. - Cooker
A current of 2A passes through the immersion cooker at a voltage of 230V. What work do the electric field forces in 2 minutes? - Double probability
The probability of success of the planned action is 60%. What is the probability that success will be achieved at least once if this action is repeated twice? - Bricklayers
The first bricklayer would build a wall in 3 days, the second in 4 days. The first bricklayer worked alone for a day, then the second bricklayer came to his aid and they finished the work together. How long did it take to build the wall? - Water mixing
There are 5 liters of water at 75°C in the pot, how much water at 10°C do we have to add to the resulting temperature of 55°C? - Working together
Two people will do the work in 12 days. They worked together for 8 days. Then only one worked for 10 days. How many days would each of them do the work if he worked alone? - The copper wire
The copper wire bundle with a diameter of 2.8mm has a weight of 5kg. How many meters of wire is bundled if 1m3 of copper weighs 8930kg? - The shooter
The shooter heard the impact of the bullet on the target in one second after the shot. The bullet was moving at an average speed of 500 m/s. Calculate with speed of sound of 340 m/s. Determine the distance of the target. - Hectares of forest
12 workers plant 24 ha of forest in 6 days. In how many days will 15 people and 12 people plant the same area?
