The stopping distance of a car varies directly as the square of its speed. If a car traveling at 20mph requires 25.5ft to stop,
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

159.375 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent stopping distance of a car and s represent speed of car.

We have been given that the stopping distance of a car varies directly as the square of its speed.

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form y=kx, where y is directly proportional to x and k is constant of proportionality.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

d=ks^2.

We are also told that a car traveling at 20 mph requires 25.5 ft to stop. We can represent this information in our equation as:

25.5=k(20)^2

25.5=400k

k=\frac{25.5}{400}

k=0.06375

Now, we will substitute k=0.06375 and s=50 in our equation and solve for d as:

d=0.06375(50)^2

d=0.06375(2500)

d=159.375

Therefore, a car traveling at 50 mph requires 159.375 feet to stop.

A company placed $500,000 in three different investment plans.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

B. $200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount placed at 5.5%

3x is the amount placed at 5%

This leaves the rest for the 4.5 %   500000- x - 3x = 500000-4x

Assuming simple interest

I = PRT where I is interest, P is principle, rate is rate and t  is time

Interest for the 5.5% for 1 year is

I = x * .055 * 1 = .055x

Interest for the 5.% for 1 year is

I = 3x * .05 * 1 = .15x

Interest for the 4.5% for 1 year is

I = 500000-4x * .045 * 1 = 22500 - 0.18 x

Add the interest together to get the income for 1 year

.055x+  .15x+22500 - 0.18 x=25,000

Combine like terms

0.025x+22500=25000

Subtract 22500

.025x =2500

Divide by .025

x =100000  

short term notes is 100000

3*x = 300000 = government bonds

The rest is utility bonds 500000- 100000-300000 = 100000

We want how much more in government bond than utility bond

300000 -100000 = 200000
