two cars travel in opposite directions, starting from the same place at the same time. One travels at an average rate of 48 mile

s per hour and the other averaged at 55 miles per hour. in how many hours will the be 618 miles apart?

So in 1 hour they will be 48+55=103 miles apart
how many hours will it be in 618
103 times x hours=618
divide both sides by 103
x=618/103
x=6

the answer is 6 hours

In quadratic drag problem, the deceleration is proportional to the square of velocity

Mars2501 [29]

Part A

Given that $a= \frac{dv}{dt} =-kv^2$

Then,

$\int dv= -kv^2\int dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow v(t)=-kv^2t+c$

For $v(0)=v_0$ , then

$v(0)=-kv^2(0)+c=v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow c=v_0$

Thus, $v(t)=-kv(t)^2t+v_0$

For $v(t)= \frac{1}{2} v_0$ , we have

$\frac{1}{2} v_0=-k\left( \frac{1}{2} v_0\right)^2t+v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} kv_0^2t=v_0- \frac{1}{2} v_0= \frac{1}{2} v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow kv_0t=2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t= \frac{2}{kv_0}$

Part B

Recall that from part A,

$v(t)= \frac{dx}{dt} =-kv^2t+v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow dx=-kv^2tdt+v_0dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow\int dx=-kv^2\int tdt+v_0\int dt+a \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=- \frac{1}{2} kv^2t^2+v_0t+a$

Now, at initial position, t = 0 and $v=v_0$ , thus we have

$x=a$

and when the velocity drops to half its value, $v= \frac{1}{2} v_0$ and $t= \frac{2}{kv_0}$

Thus,

$x=- \frac{1}{2} k\left( \frac{1}{2} v_0\right)^2\left( \frac{2}{kv_0} \right)^2+v_0\left( \frac{2}{kv_0} \right)+a \\ \\ =- \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{2}{k} +a$

Thus, the distance the particle moved from its initial position to when its velocity drops to half its initial value is given by

$- \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{2}{k} +a-a \\ \\ = \frac{2}{k} - \frac{1}{2k} = \frac{3}{2k}$

If the line formed by equation 1 is parallel to the line formed by equation 2, fill in the missing value below.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$y =-\frac{3}{2}x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = []x + 6$ --- equation 1

$y = \frac{2}{3}x + 10$ --- equation 2

Required

Fill in the blank

A linear equation is represented as:

$y = mx + b$

Where m represents the slope

If (1) and (2) are perpendicular, then:

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}$

In $y = \frac{2}{3}x + 10$ --- equation 2

$m_2 = \frac{2}{3}$

So, we have:

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{m_2}$

$m_1 = -\frac{1}{2/3}$

$m_1 = -\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, the complete equation is:

$y =-\frac{3}{2}x + 6$
