Initial velocity=11.8m/s=u
Acceleration=a=6.39m/s²
Distance=s=55m
Time be t

According to second equation of kinematics

s=ut+1/2at²
55=11.8t+1/2(6.39)t²
110=23.6t+6.39t²
6.39t²+23.6t-110=0

Take positive value

t=2.7s

Answer:

2.7 s (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Constant Acceleration Equations where:

s = displacement in meters
u = initial speed in m/s
v = final speed in m/s
a = acceleration in m/s²
t = time in s (seconds)

Given:

s = 55 m
u = 11.8 m/s
a = 6.39 m/s²

$\begin{aligned}\text{Using }s & =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\implies 55 & =11.8t+\dfrac{1}{2}(6.39)t^2\end{aligned}$

Rearrange the equation to equal zero:

$\implies 3.195t^2+11.8t-55=0$

Quadratic Formula

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0$

Use the quadratic equation to solve for t:

$\implies a=3.195, \quad b=11.8, \quad c=-55$

$\implies t=\dfrac{-11.8 \pm \sqrt{11.8^2-4(3.195)(-55)} }{2(3.195)}$

$\implies t=2.694780675, -6.388051411$

As time is positive:

$\implies t=2.694780675... \:\text{s}$

$\implies t=2.7 \: \text{s (1 d.p.)}$

Solve 20x + 12 ≥ 14x + 30

Rashid [163]

Subtract 14x from both sides to get

$20x-14x+12 \geq 30$

Subtract 12 from both sides to get

$20x-14x \geq 30-12$

Now we have moved all terms involving x on one side, and all constant terms on the other. We can simplift both sides, i.e. sum like terms, to get

$6x \geq 18$

Now we have to divide both sides by 6. When dealing with inequality you have to be careful about dividing both sides by the same constant: if the constant is negative, the inequality side switches (i.e. $\geq \leftrightarrow \leq$ ). But this is not the case since 6 is positive, so we mantain the inequality sign:
