Answer:32.77\ mi/hr

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is 31,500\ miles

Final reading on the odometer is 31,713\ miles

Time taken is t=6.5\ hr

average velocity =\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}

v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is 32.77\ mi/hr

maria [59]

Answer: K =24 psi

Explanation:

Given: Standard deviation =3psi

Internal pressure strength =157psi

Number of random bottle =n=64

K= 3 × square root of 64

K= 3×8=24 psi

If mean internal pressure K fall below K,

157-1.3=155.7psi

At 2%:

0.16×64 = 10.24

The position of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the expression x = 4t 2, where x is in meters and
Pie

Answer:

a) X = 17.64 m

b) X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

c) Velocity = lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 16.8 m/s

Explanation:

a) The position at t = 2.10s is:  

                 X = 4t^2

                 X = 4(2.10)^2

                 X = 17.64 m

b) The position at t = 2.10 + ∆t s  will be:

                 X = 4(2.10 + ∆t)^2

                 X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t  m

c) ∆X is the difference between position at t = 2.10s and t = 2.10 + ∆t so,

                 ∆X= 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

Divide by ∆t on both sides:  

                ∆X/∆t =  4∆t + 16.8

 Taking the limit as ∆t approaches to zero we get:  

              Velocity =lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 4(0) + 16.8

              Velocity = 16.8 m/s
