(1) The time taken by the cab to meet the bus is 18.96 seconds.

(2) The distance the cab has travelled to catch-up with the bus is 718.96 m.

<h3>Distance between the bus and the cab</h3>

The distance between the bus and the cab when the cab begins to move is calculated as follows;

D = speed x time

D = 30 m/s x 5 s

D = 150 m

<h3>Velocity of the cab</h3>

The velocity of the cab when it begins to move is calculated as follows;

v = at

(v - 30)t = D

(at - 30)t = 150

(2t - 30)t = 150

2t² - 30t = 150

2t² - 30t - 150 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method

t = 18.96 seconds

<h3>Distance traveled by the cab</h3>

D =  vt

D = 2t²

D = 2(18.96²)

D = 718.96 m

Thus, the time taken by the cab to meet the bus is 18.96 seconds. The distance the cab has travelled to catch-up with the bus is 718.96 m.

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
iragen [17]

Answer:

y = 27 cm

Explanation:

given,

After 11 hours of burning height of candle is 27.9 cm

After 30 hours of burning height of candle is 26 cm

height after 20 hour = ?

the candle height decreases linearly

using linear equation

y = m x+ c

27.9 = m (11 ) + C.......(1)

26 = m (30) + C..............(2)

on solving equation (1) and (2)

1.9 = -19 m

m = -0.1

from equation 2

26 = -3 + C

C = 29

y = m x + 29

at 20 hour

y = -0.1× 20 + 29

y = 27

height of candle after 20 hours is 27 cm.

Measuring the amount of deuterium in the universe allows us to set a limit on _________.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

the density of ordinary (baryonic) matter in the universe

Explanation:

 Deuterium detection is of interest because the amount of it may be related to the amount of dark matter in the universe, but precise measurements have been difficult to obtain. Due to the way in which deuterium was created in the Big Bang, an exact measurement of the amount of deuterium would allow scientists to set limits on the models of the great explosion.

Also, an exact measure of deuterium would be an indicator of the cosmic density of barions (ordinary matter), and that density of barions would indicate whether ordinary matter is dark and is found in regions such as black holes, gas clouds or brown dwarfs, or it is bright and can be found in the stars. This information will help scientists who try to understand the very beginning of our universe.
