Answer:

The required inequality is |s - 65| ≤ 5.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The cruise control of Megan's truck is set at 65 miles per hour, but her actual speed may vary by as much as 5 miles per hour.

That means actual speed can be 65 - 5 or 65 + 5

Let the speed of Megan's truck is "s".

The speed of truck is lies between 65 - 5 or 65 + 5

This can be written as:

65 - 5 ≤ s ≤ 65 + 5

60 ≤ s ≤ 70

Or this can be written as:

65 - 5 ≤ s ≤ 65 + 5

Subtract both the side by 65.

- 5 ≤ s - 65 ≤ 5

Take the absolute value of difference, where the absolute value can be as much as 5. Which gives the required inequality for the situation.

|s - 65| ≤ 5

Hence, the required inequality is |s - 65| ≤ 5.

Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?
Semmy [17]
Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
 At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
 Ea = m * g * h
 In other words, energy is only potential.
 At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
 Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
 In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
 For energy conservation we have:
 Ea = Eb
 That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
 Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
 answer:
 the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to
kow [346]

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.
