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

The student body of 205 wants to elect a president, vice president, and a secretary. Is an example of permutation or combination
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Combination

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is likely used more for lists/ordered things.

Combination is used more for groups.

Since we are trying to elect a group of people (president, vice president, and secretary) out of 205 students, we use combination.

If you flip a coin 150 times about how many times would you expect to get heads?
Anit [1.1K]
You cannot have any expectations, statistics cannot apply here, you are as likely, in theory to get 150 heads as none at all as each coin toss is totally independent of the one before and after.
Chaos theory would probably show that you are unlikely to get more or less than a certain number of heads or tails but mathematically there is absolutely no way of predicting a percentage out of any number of tosses.
