Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance   =  d  = 96 miles

Lets call  Pascal velocity  V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by  50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V  = d/ t₁      ⇒   1.5 * V  =  96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 )     ⇒  V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d     ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁      (1)

V*t₁  + 16*V = 384     (2)

We solve  from equation    (1)      t₁  = 64/V

And by substitution   in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64  + 16 *V  = 384         ⇒   16*V = 320      ⇒  V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram
bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

v_a = 70 mph

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_a = 350 m

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{350}{31.3}

t = 11.2 s

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}

v_b = 22.35 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_b = 590 feet

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m

now the time to hit the other car is

t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}

t_b = 8.05 s

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere? (2 points).
stealth61 [152]
As altitude increases, temperature increases. The stratosphere is the part of the atmosphere that starts in the tropopause and ends in the estratopause. In the troposphere, the air is close to the Earth surface. The air surface can absorb more sunlight energy than the air, so the Earth surface heats the air. As you go higher, the distance to the Earth surface is higher, so the temperature is lower. The troposphere ends in the tropopause, where this trend changes. In the estratopause, there is a lot of ozone, which absorbs the dangerous UV radiation and converts into heat. That heat warms the air. So the air which is close to the estratopause is warm because of the heat released by the ozone reactions. The tropopause is far from the Earth surface and far from the ozone layer, that’s why it is cold. So the tropopause is cold and the estratopause is warm, which means: the air becomes warmer <span>as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.</span>
