Why is the initial speed of a car at a red light 0 m/s?

Mathematics
1 answer:
igor_vitrenko [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The initial speed of a car at a red light would be 0 m/s, because it has fully been put to a stop. It's not moving.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a car were to fully stop there would be no speed.

For example, if you were to go walking in the city, and you were about to walk onto the crosswalk, but the signal turn into a reg light. Then you would have stopped. Then you have gone into an idle position. When in this idle position, it is like you aren't moving, so there is no acceleration in speed or decrease. It is also much like a stop sign, you would make a full stop when you see it.

Traveling from San Antonio to Dallas, you fist pass through Austin and then Waco before reading Dallas, a total distance of 280
pshichka [43]
The answer is 70 miles.

If we express distances as following:
T - total distance
a - distance from <span>San Antonio to Austin
b - </span>distance from <span>Austin to Waco
c - </span>distance from <span>Waco to Dallas
Then:
T = 280 mi
b = a - 30 mi        </span>⇒ a = b + 30<span>
b = c + 20 mi       </span>⇒ c = b - 20<span>

T = a + b + c
</span>⇒ a + b + c = 280
⇒ b + 30 + b + b - 20 = 280
⇒ 3b +10 = 280
⇒ 3b = 280 - 10
⇒ 3b = 270
⇒ b = 90 mi.

Distance from <span>Waco to Dallas is c.
</span><span>c = b - 20
</span>⇒ c = 90 - 20
⇒ c = 70 mi

Therefore, distance from <span>Waco to Dallas is 70 miles.</span>

Can someone please explain how to do this​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

the mid point formula for this is x+x/2 and y+y/ 2 so #9would be 1/2, 3/2

now that we know how long each one is, let's plug those in Heron's Area formula.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 15x+18y=270. Fully simplify your answer.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

6/5

Step by step explanation:

Here we are provided with a equation which is ,

\longrightarrow 15x + 18y = 270

And we are interested in finding the slope of the line which is perpendicular to the given line. We may rewrite the equation as ,

\longrightarrow 18y = -15x +270\\

\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-15x+270}{18}\\

\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-15}{18}x +\dfrac{270}{8}\\

\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-5}{6}x +\dfrac{135}{4}

Recall the slope intercept form of the line which is <u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>mx</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>c</u><u> </u>.On comparing to which we get ,

\longrightarrow m =\dfrac{-5}{6}

Again , recall that product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So that ,

\longrightarrow m_{\perp} =-\bigg(\dfrac{1}{m}\bigg)

Hence ,

\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{ m_{\perp}= \dfrac{6}{5}}}

And we are done !

The fish is 2.25 ft above the water surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given expression for height of the fish above the water surface,  y = -16x² + 12x where x is time in seconds. Find height after 0.375 seconds

⇒ y = -16(0.375)² + 12 × 0.375

     = -2.25 + 4.5

     = 2.25 ft
