Part A.
What we can do to solve this problem is to assume that
the acceleration of Bryan is constant so that the velocity function is linear.
The standard form of a linear function is in the form:
y = m x + b
or in this case:
v = m t + b
where v is velocity and t is time, b is the y –intercept of
the equation
The slope m can be calculated by:
m = (v2 – v1) / (t2 – t1)
m = (12 – 15) / (7 – 4)
m = -1
Since slope is negative therefore this means the cyclist
are constantly decelerating. The equation then becomes:
v = - t + b
Now finding for b by plugging in any data pair:
15 = - (4) + b
b = 19
So the complete equation is:
v = - t + 19
This means that the initial velocity of the cyclists at t
= 0 is 19 km / h.
Part B. What we can do to graph the equation is to
calculate for the values of v from t = 0 to 12, then plot all these values in
the Cartesian plane then connect the dots.
I think its C............. :) I'm sorry if I got it wrong
The equation for the area of a circle is A = PI x r^2
R = radius, which is half the diameter = 23/2 = 11.5
Area = 3.14 x 11.5^2
Area = 3.14 x 132.25
Area = 415.265 square cm.
Can you show the problem ?
