KE increases by the square of the speed.  Since the first car is moving 4 times faster, its KE is 16 times higher

Answer with explanation:

Kinetic Energy of a body is given by the formula

                      =\frac{mv^2}{2}

Kinetic Energy of Car having speed 60 mph

               \rightarrow K.E_{1}=\frac{m \times (60)^2}{2}\\\\=1800 m    

Kinetic Energy of Car having speed 15 mph

               \rightarrow K.E_{2}=\frac{m \times (15)^2}{2}\\\\=\frac{225 m}{2}      

\Rightarrow\frac{K.E_{1}}{K.E_{2}}=\frac{1800}{\frac{225}{2}}\\\\=8 \times 2\\\\=16

Kinetic energy of Car Traveling at 60 mph has 16 times more energy than a car going at 15 mph.

Find the discriminant of the equation. x2 + 3x - 4 = 0
ivann1987 [24]

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.

The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).

Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:

(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)

Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.

The discriminant is 25.

-3 plus or minus √25

Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------

2

-3 plus or minus 5

or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)
