What is the average acceleration of a southbound train that slows down from 15 m/s to 8.6 m/s in 1.2 s?

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The average acceleration of train is $5.34\ m/s^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

A train that slows down from 15 m/s to 8.6 m/s in 1.2 s. It means that 15 m/s is its initial velocity and 8.6 m/s is its final velocity.

It is required to find the average acceleration of the train.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{(8.6-15)\ m/s}{1.2\ s}\\\\a=-5.34\ m/s^2$

The average acceleration of train is $5.34\ m/s^2$ . Negative signs shows that the train is decelerating.

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

A and B represent the side lengths (legs) and C represents the hypotenuse.

The length of one leg equals 5cm. (This can be represented by either a or b)

The hypotenuse equals 13 cm.

Plug these into the equation from above:

$a^{2} + (5^{2}) = (13^{2})$

Solve for the other leg:

$a^{2} + 25 = 169$ Square what's in the parentheses from above

$a^{2} = 144\\$ Subtract 25 from 169

$\sqrt{a^{2} } = \sqrt{144}$ Square root both sides

a = 12 cm

Thus, the length of the other leg is 12 cm.

Let's check our answer:

$12^{2} +5^{2} =13^{2}$ Square everything

144 + 25 = 169 Add

169 = 169

Because both sides are equal it means that 12 cm is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!!

Find the improper fraction with a denominator of six that is equivalent to 5 1/2

sammy [17]

Answer:

33/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the proper fraction into an improper fraction.

11/2

Multiply numerator and denominator by the same number. This number needs to allow the demominator to be 6.

(11*3)/(2*3)

33/6

Answer:

Question 1: A

Question 2: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to question 1 is A. I know this is correct because Max needs to earn 108 dollars for the headphones he wants so the amount of money he earns per hour which is 15, times the amount of hours he needs to work which is x has to be greater than 108. So, the inequality equation has to be 15x > 108 which is answer A.

The answer to question 2 is C. I know this is correct because Felicia has 2 sisters which make 3 sisters in total to pay for the gift. They all pay evenly, so the first part of the equation would be 3x. The cost for the gift is less than 80 dollars, so we write the inequality equation like 3x < 80 which is answer C.
