Answer:

66.67km/hr

Step -by - step explanation:

From what I understand from the question,The speed of a car after accelerating for 8 seconds is inversely proportional to its weight. The car weighs 1600 kg and accelerates to 100 km/h in 8 seconds. We were now asked to find the speed after accelerating for 8 seconds if we load the car with 800 extra kg to 2400 kg.

Speed of the car is inversely proportional to the weight of the car

S = k/w

For the first 8 seconds the car accelerate, the car weighed 1600kg and the speed was 100km/hr

100 = k/1600

K = 1600 × 100

K = 160,000

If an extra weight of 800kg was added,and the new weight of the car is 2400kg,the new speed of the car will be

S = 160000/2400

S = 66.67km/hr

Answer:

With 800 extra kg load: speed = 66.667 km/h

With 2400 extra kg load: speed = 40 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the car W = 1600 kg, and its speed after accelerating for 8 seconds with this weight S = 100 km/h

If we load the car with 800 extra kg, the total weight will be:

W2 = W + 800 = 2400 kg

The relation between the weights is:

W2 / W = 2400 / 1600 = 1.5

If the weight increased 1.5 times, the relation between the speeds will be 1/1.5 (as they are inversely proportional), so:

S2 / S = 1 / 1.5

S2 = S / 1.5 = 66.667 km/h

If we load the car with 2400 extra kg, the total weight will be:

W3 = W + 2400 = 4000 kg

The relation between the weights is:

W3 / W = 4000 / 1600 = 2.5

If the weight increased 2.5 times, the relation between the speeds will be 1/2.5, so:

S3 / S = 1 / 2.5

S3 = S / 2.5 = 40 km/h

Adam went on a 54 \text { km}54 km54, start text, space, k, m, end text hike. He divided the distance traveled evenly over 666 d
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

9000 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

He went on a 54 km hike. First, we have to find this distance in metres.

1 km = 1000 m

54 km = 54 * 1000 = 54000 m

He divided the distance evenly over 6 days.

To find how many metres he walked each day, we divide the total distance he hiked by the number of days spent. That is:

54000 / 6 = 9000 metres

He walked 9000 metres each day.

You invest $5000 in an account at 5.5% per year simple interest. How much will you have in the account at the beginning of the 6
NeX [460]

Answer:

The amount in the account in the  beginning of the 6th year is $6375 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Simple\ interest = \frac{Principle\times Rate\ times Time}{100}

As given

You invest $5000 in an account at 5.5% per year simple interest.

Principle = $ 5000

Rate = 5.5 %

Time = 5 years

(As calculate amount in the account for beginning of 6th year.)

Putting all the values in the formula

Simple\ interest = \frac{5000\times 5.5\times 5}{100}

Simple\ interest = 50\times 5.5\times 5

Simple interest = $ 1375

Amount =  Principle + Simple interest

Putting values in the above formula

Amount =  $5000 + $1375

Amount = $ 6375

Therefore the amount in the account in the  beginning of the 6th year is $ 6375 .

A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.6 m and the horizontal
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

35 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s2. We can calculate the amount of time for the ball to fall vertically a distance of 1.6 m

1.6 = 9.8t^2/2

t^2 = 2*1.6/9.8 = 0.327

t = \sqrt{0.327} = 0.571s

This is also the time it takes for the ball to fly horizontally, assume constant horizontal speed, we can calculate the speed it takes to travel across 20m in 0.571s

v = 20 / 0.571 = 35 m/s
