Check the picture below.

first off we'll need to know the midpoints of ST and UV, well, from ST as you can see in the picture, is just a vertical line, so its midpoint is simply (-2,0), let's find it for UV

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ U(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad V(\stackrel{x_2}{13}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{10}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{13+3}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{10-2}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{16}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{8}{2} \right)\implies (8~~,~~4) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{[8-(-2)]^2+[4-0]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(8+2)^2+(4-0)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{10^2+4^2}\implies d=\sqrt{116}\implies d\approx 10.77

Use estimation to determine which of the following expressions is greater. Explain how you got your answer. 5 × (1.9 + 3.15) and
Sonja [21]
The first one is greater. Adding 3.2 and 0.2 is easy! It's 3.4! Make that 3. Make 6.9, 7. 7×3=21. For the first one, make 1.9, 2. Then Make 3.15, 3. 5×5=25. That is why the first one is greater.

Determine the kinetic energy of a 100-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0/ms.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 20,000\ J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is defined as:

k = \frac{1}{2}ms ^ 2

Where <em>m</em> is the mass of the roller coaster car

<em>s</em> is the speed and <em>k</em> is the kinetic energy

We know that s = 20\ m/s

m = 100\ kg

Then the kinetic energy of the roller coaster car is:

k = \frac{1}{2}(100)(20) ^ 2\\\\k = 50(20) ^ 2\\\\k = 50 * 400\\\\k = 20,000\ J
