First, we are going to find the radius of the yaw mark. To do that we are going to use the formula: r= \frac{c^2}{8m} + \frac{m}{2}
where 
c is the length of the chord 
m is the middle ordinate 
We know from our problem that the tires leave a yaw mark with a 52 foot chord and a middle ornate of 6 feet, so c=52 and m=6. Lets replace those values in our formula:
r= \frac{52^2}{8(6)} + \frac{6}{2}
r= \frac{2704}{48} +3
r= \frac{169}{3} +3
r= \frac{178}{3}

Next, to find the minimum speed, we are going to use the formula: s= \sqrt{15fr}
where
f is <span>drag factor
</span>r is the radius 
We know form our problem that the drag factor is 0.2, so f=0.2. We also know from our previous calculation that the radius is \frac{178}{3}, so r= \frac{178}{3}. Lets replace those values in our formula:
s= \sqrt{(15)(0.2)( \frac{178}{3}) }
s= \sqrt{178}
s=13.34 mph

We can conclude that Mrs. Beluga's minimum speed before she applied the brakes was 13.34 miles per hour.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

It's mostly an assumption based on the pattern of number placement, so I apologize in advance if this is incorrect.

I'm not sure what this is for.

What is 3 1/3 as a percent?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

333.3\%

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to express 3⅓ as a percentage.

Let us first of all rewrite 3⅓ as decimals to obtain:

3 \frac{1}{3}  = 3.3333...

To express this as a percentage, we multiply by 100%

3 \frac{1}{3}  = 3.3333... \times 100\%

This multiplies to give us:

3 \frac{1}{3}  = 333.3\%

You buy 4 bags of sand and 3 bags of pea gravel for $24. In a second purchase (at the same prices), you buy 2 bags of sand for $
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

x = $3

y = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know the prices of gravel and peas. We can find the price by using equations and graphing them.

Let X be the price of the sand

Be and the price of pea gravel

In the first purchase we have:

4x + 3y = 24

In the second purchase we have

2x = 6

Both relations represent the equation of a line. In the graphic shown, these lines are drawn. In this case the interception between both lines represents the price of each product, and the solution of the problem. You can see that the lines intersect at point (3 4). This means that the price of each bag of sand is $ 3, and the price of a bag of pea gravel is $ 4.

Which is the focus of a parabola with equation y2 = 4x?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

(1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as y^2 = 4x; the " ^ " indicates exponentiation.

The appropriate equation for a horizontal parabola that opens to the right is

y^2 = 4px

Here, we are told that  y^2 = 4x; this tells us that 4p = 4, and so p = 1.  

Again, this parabola is a horizontal one and it opens to the right.  p = 1 is the distance of the focus from the vertex, and in this case p = 1.  Thus, the focus is at (1, 0) (situated on the x-axis).
