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 rectangular plot of ground is 10 meters longer than it is wide. It’s area is 20,000 square meters what equation will help find
kow [346]
If x=width, then the equation would be:

x(x+10)=20,000

The length is 10 meters longer than the width(x), so the length is x+10.
To get the area(20,000) you multiply width by length, hence x(x+10).

Hope this helps.

In checkers, pieces move diagonally. The board shows a move with two consecutive jumps. Write a composition of translations for
dusya [7]

Answer:- The composition of translation is :

Translation: (x,y)→(x-2,y+2)   [as the given piece moved 2 steps to the left and 2 steps upwards]

Translation:(x,y)→(x+2,y+2)   [as the given piece moved 2 steps to the right and 2 steps upwards]

A single translation that moves the piece from its original position to its ending position is  [ignoring the diagonal movement]

Translation:-(x,y)→(x,y-4)[as piece have to go 4 steps downwards]

Physical quantities are identified uniquely by
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A physical quantity must have a determined unit so it has a numerical value assigned to it. A unit is a standardized way to relegate a numerical amount to properties of a specific measurement. For instance, the meter (m), second (s), and kilogram (kg) are specific units that permit us to relegate numbers to estimations of length, time, and mass measurements.
