Given that the subway stations are 930 m apart, the train have to be accerelated for half the distance and then decerelated for the rest of the distance.

Recall that the distance travelled by an object with an initial velocity, u, for a period of time, t, at an accereration, a, is given by
s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2

But, we assume that the train accelerates from rest, thus
s=\frac{1}{2} at^2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow465=\frac{1}{2}(1.74)t^2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow t^2=534.48 \\  \\  \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{534.48}=23.12

The maximum speed is attained at half the center of the distance between subway stations (i.e. at distance = 465 m).

Thus, maximum speed = distance / time = 465 / 23.12 = 20.11 m/s.

A rectangle has a length of 4x plus 5 and a width of 8x minus 4. Which expression shows the perimeter of that rectangle? A: 4x +
mezya [45]

Answer: The answer is (D) 24x+2.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle, where length of the rectangle is given by

\ell=4x+5,

and width of the rectangle is given by

b=8x-4.

We are to find the perimeter of the rectangle. To do so, we need to add two times length with two times breadth of the rectangle.

Therefore, perimeter is given by

p=2\ell+2b=2\times(4x+5)+2\times(8x-1)=8x+10+16x-8=24x+2.

Thus, the correct option is (D).
