Operations: Ratios

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Hard of Mathematics

An observatory is monitoring a star moving away from our planet. The star's speed of separation is proportional to the distance between Earth and the star. After an hour of observation, the star is located 500 million kilometers away, and then the team of scientists detects an explosion that increases the separation speed by 50%. Considering that the star's separation speed before the explosion was 200,000 kilometers per second, determine: 1) The new separation speed of the star after the explosion. 2) The ratio between the new and the old separation speed. Explain, based on the concepts of ratio and proportion, how the increase in distance between Earth and the star affects the separation speed, considering the scenario without the explosion and maintaining the initial proportion.

During the cleaning of the cooling system of a factory, a technician must adjust a light reflector fixed on the ceiling of the room. The reflector has the shape of a right circular cone with the vertex pointing upwards and an opening angle of 75º. The technician wants to calculate the height and the radius of the base of the cone to determine the ideal dimensions of the mirrors that will be installed on the inner surface of the cone, so that the reflected light follows a beam parallel to the floor. Consider that the angle of incidence of light on the inner surface of the cone should be 15º with the normal to the surface at the point of incidence to ensure total reflection of light. Based on this configuration, determine the height and the radius of the base of the cone, and additionally, identify the value of the sine and cosine of 22.5º, an angle that arises in the resolution of the problem.

In Ana's lunchbox, she has 8 green grapes and 6 purple grapes. In João's lunchbox, he has 4 grapes of each color. If they combine all the grapes and divide them equally between them, who will have more grapes, Ana or João? Write two different addition equations that result in the same total number of grapes to help Ana and João divide the grapes fairly.

Consider a Cartesian coordinate system where a point P has coordinates (a, b) and a point Q has coordinates (c, d). The absolute value of a number is defined as its distance from the origin of this system. If point P is in the second quadrant and point Q is in the fourth quadrant, with a, b, c, and d being integers, and it is known that the absolute difference between the y coordinates of P and Q is 15, determine the value of a - c, knowing that a < 0 and c > 0.
