After a car accident, the skid marks for one car measured 190 feet. Use the formula s = √ 24 d , where d represents the length o

f the skid mark (in feet) and s represents the speed of the car before the brakes were applied, to find the speed of the car before the brakes were applied. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

s = 67.5 m/s

Explanation:

Skid mark for the car = 190 ft

given equation of speed and distnace

s = \sqrt{24d}

d is the distance

s is the speed  

s = \sqrt{24\times 190}

s = \sqrt{4560}

s =67.52 m/s

rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth

s = 67.5 m/s

The speed of the car before it stop is equal to s = 67.5 m/s

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2

where

a = 6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

u_B = 20 m/s

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get x_B=0, which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?
