10 miles 45 miles
----------------- * --------------------- Cross Multiply
16 kilometres x kilometres

10 x = 720

x = about 72 kilometres

An engineer is trying to design a runway for an airport. He knows that airplanes have the ability to accelerate at 3.3 m/s ^ 2 a

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The proposed 1600 meters runway length is not long enough

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount by which a plane can accelerate = 3.3 m/s²

The time it takes for a plane to lift off the ground = 35 seconds

The length of the runway on the blueprint = 1,600 meters

Therefore, from the equation of motion for distance traveled, s, acceleration, a, and time taken, t, we have;

s = u·t + 1/2·a·t²

Where;

u = The initial velocity

t = 35 seconds

a = 3.3 m/s²

Given that all planes will start motion from rest, we have;

u = 0 m/s

Therefore;

s = 0 × 35 + 1/2 × 3.3 × 35² = 2021.25 meters

Which indicates that the length of the runway a plane would need for take off should be at least 2021.25 meters long, therefore, the blueprint's 1600 meters runway length is not long enough.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 centimeters. If the width of the rectangle is 9 centimeters

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Length = 17 cm

Width = 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x cm

Therefore, Width = (x - 9) cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l +w)

50 = 2[x + (x - 9)]

50/2 = 2x - 9

25 = 2x - 9

25+ 9 = 2x

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17 cm

x - 9 = 17 - 9 = 8 cm

Therefore,

Length = 17 cm

Width = 8 cm

Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 17 cm and 8 cm.

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (−1,1) and (7,−5)

icang [17]

The equation is $y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

So, the midpoint will be $(\frac{-1+7}{2} , \frac{1-5}{2} )\\\\$

= $(3,-2)$

It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.

Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope is $\frac{-5-1}{7+1}$ = $-\frac{2}{3}$

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. The opposite reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$

To write an equation, substitute the values in y = mx + c

WHere,

y = -1

x = 3

m = 3/2

Solving for c:

$-1 = \frac{3}{2} X 3 + c\\\\-1 = \frac{9}{2}+c\\ \\c = \frac{-2-9}{2} \\\\c = \frac{-11}{2}$

Thus, the equation becomes:

$y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}$

Emily's account balance this Monday is -$8.35 . Her account balance last Monday was $15.75. Which statement explains how to find

Yanka [14]

The correct answer to determine the change in he account is by:

C. Subtracting last Monday's account balance from this Monday's account balance to find that the change in the balance is -$24.10.

Hope This helped :)
