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

How do I add the fractions <br> 1/4 + 1/7 please help me
kiruha [24]
First, you have to find the LCD. The LCD of 4 and 7 is 28, so you rewrite the fraction:
7/28
4/28

Then you add them.

Which expression is equal to 5^4 x 5^8 ? <br><br> A: 5^12<br> B: 5^4<br> C: 5^2<br> D: 5^−4
galben [10]

Something to remember is how to multiply terms with same bases, but different exponents:

a^b \cdot a^c = a^{(b+c)}


Essentially, we add the exponents.


Using the information above, we can find our answer:

5^4 \cdot 5^8 = 5^{(4+8)} = \boxed{5^{12}}


Our answer is \boxed{5^{12}}, or A.
