the stopping distance of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed v. a car required 90 feet to stop whe

n its speed was 70 miles per hour. find a mathematical model that gives the stopping distance d in terms of its speed v. Estimate the stopping distance if the brakes are applied when the car is traveling at 71 miles per hour.

First we write the mathematical model in a generic way:
 "The stopping distance of an automobile is directly proportional to the square of its speed v"
 d = kv ^ 2
 Where,
 k: proportionality constant.
 We now look for the value of K:
 d = kv ^ 2
 90 = k ((70) * (5280/3600)) ^ 2
 k = 90 / ((70) * (5280/3600)) ^ 2
 k = 0.008538539 s ^ 2 / feet
 The equation will then be:
 d = (0.008538539) * v ^ 2
 For v = 71 miles per hour we have:
 d = (0.008538539) * ((71) * (5280/3600)) ^ 2
 d = 92.6 feet
 Answer:
 a mathematical model that gives the stopping distance in terms of its speed v is:
 d = (0.008538539) * v ^ 2
 The stopping distance if the brakes are applied when the car is traveling at 71 miles per hour is:
 d = 92.6 feet

what is the equation of the line that is parallel to 6x-2y=4+6y and passes through the point (8, -16)?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

y=\frac{3}{4}x-22

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • The equation of a line 6x-2y=4+6y
  • A point (8, -16)

We are required to determine the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point.

  • One way we can determine the equation of a line is when we are given its slope and a point where it is passing through,

First we get the slope of the line from the equation given;

  • We write the equation in the form y = mx + c, where m is the slope

That is;

6x-2y=4+6y

6y + 2y = 6x-4

8y = 6x -4

We get, y = 3/4 x - 4

Therefore, the slope, m₁ = 3/4

But; for parallel lines m₁=m₂

Therefore, the slope of the line in question, m₂ = 3/4

To get the equation of the line;

We take a point (x, y) and the point (8, -16) together with the slope;

That is;

\frac{(y--16}{x-8}=\frac{3}{4}

4(y+16)=3(x-8)\\4y + 64 = 3x - 24\\4y=3x-88\\ y=\frac{3}{4}x-22

Thus, the equation required is y=\frac{3}{4}x-22

The initial measure is:
 m1 = 28 ft
 The real measure must be:
 m2 = 14 ft
 The correct procedure to determine the scale factor is:
 k = m1 / m2

k = 28/14
 Dividing both numbers between 14 we have:
 k = (28/14) / (14/14)
 Rewriting:
 k = 2/1

k = 2
 Answer:
 
Zelie should have divided both numbers by 14.

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 8 minutes is included, do the closed circle. He put it in there for 8 minutes, than put it in there for longer which makes the graph go to the right with including the closed circle. Hope this helped!

Paul drinks 6 cups of coffee each day. Each cup contains 275 milliliters of coffee. How
scZoUnD [109]
<h3>Answer:  11.55 liters</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

275 mL = 275/1000 = 0.275 L

1 cup = 0.275 L

6 cups = 6*0.275 L = 1.65 L

He drinks 1.65 L per day, so over 7 days he drinks a total of 7*1.65 = 11.55 liters.
