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.

Using elimination (combination), which variable will be eliminated first? 5x-y=-21x+y=-3
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Option B) The variable Y will cancel out first.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5x-y=-21 ----> equation A

x+y=-3 ----> equation B

Solve by elimination

Adds equation A and equation B

5x-y=-21

x+y=-3

--------------

5x+x=-21-3 ----->variable y will be eliminated first

6x=-24

x=-4

Add 8π to both sides

x-8π+8π=π+8π

x=π+8π

x=9π
