In the aftermath of a car accident, it is concluded that one driver slowed to a halt in 20 seconds while skidding 1775 feet. If

the speed limit was 60 miles per hour, can it be proved that the driver had been speeding? (Hint: 60 miles per hour is equal to 88 feet per second.) We can guarantee that at some time from when the driver first pressed on the brake to when the car came to a complete stop the car was traveling

Assume uniformly accelerated motion

Vf = Vo - at => a= [Vo - Vf] / t

Vf = 0, t = 20 s => a = Vo / 20

x = Vot - at^2 / 2

x = Vot - (Vo / 20) * t^2 /2

x = 1775 feet * [1 mile / 5280 feet] = 0.336 mile

t = 20 s

=> 0.336 = 20Vo - Vo(20)^2 /(40) = 20Vo - 10 Vo = 10 Vo

=> Vo = 0.336 /10 = 0.0336 mile /s

Vo = 0.0336 mile/s * 3600 s/h = 120.96 mile / h

Therefore, the car was way over the speed limit.

Choose whether the probability is mutually exclusive or not
Semmy [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of interest is ...

  P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  9/10 = 2/5 + 1/2 - P(A and B)

Solving for P(A and B), we get ...

  P(A and B) = 2/5 +1/2 -9/10 = 4/10 +5/10 -9/10

  P(A and B) = 0

__

Events are mutually exclusive when <em>they can never happen at the same time</em>. That is, P(A and B) = 0.

The events A and B are mutually exclusive.

Answer:

a²- b²=(a+b)(a-b)

a² + b²=(a+b)²-2ab or (a-b)²+2ab

(a + b)³=a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³ or, a³+b³+3ab(a+b)
