Two drivers, Alison and Kevin, are participating in a drag race. Beginning from a standing start, they each proceed with a const

ant acceleration. Alison covers the last 1/4 of the distance in 3 seconds, whereas Kevin overs the last 1/3 of the distance in 4 seconds. Who wins and by how much time?

Answer:

Alison wins against Kevin by 0.93 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Alison covers the last 1/4 of the distance in 3 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_a, we have the following equation of motion

s/4 = a_at_a^2/2

where s (m) is the total distance, ta = 3 s is the time

s = 4a_a3^2/2 = 18a_a

a_a = s/18

Similarly, Kevin overs the last 1/3 of the distance in 4 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_k, we have the following equation of motion:

s/3 = a_kt_k^2/2

tk = 4 s is the time

s = 3a_k4^2/2 = 24a_k

a_k = s/24

Since a_a = s/18 we can conclude that a_a > a_k, so Alison would win.

The time it takes for Alison to cover the entire track

s = a_aT_a^2/2

T_a^2 = 2s/a_a = 2s/(s/18) = 36

T_a = \sqrt{36} = 6 s

The time it takes for Kevin to cover the entire track

s = a_kT_k^2/2

T_k^2 = 2s/a_k = 2s/(s/24) = 48

T_a = \sqrt{48} = 6.93 s

So Alison wins against Kevin by 6.93 - 6 = 0.93 s

What are the properties of the point (2, 0) in this graphed function?
Alex73 [517]

The point (2,0) represents a relative minimum and an x-intercept.

<h3>How to determine the property?</h3>

The missing graphed function is added as an attachment

The point (2,0) means that:

x = 2 and y = 0

On the attached graph, we can see that the graph touches the x-axis at (2,0); this represents the x-intercept

Also, the graph has a minimum at (2,0); this represents the relative minimum

Hence, the point (2,0) represents a relative minimum and an x-intercept.

Answer:

E      

Step-by-step explanation:

19)        Amount of oil in   =    amount of oil in final product

       .025(x) + .09(40-x)    =    .055(40)      (x = 2.5% amt   40 - x = 9% amt)

  x = 21.54 L  of   2.5 %     then 9% = 18.46 L

Graph the image of this figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 3 centered at (-7,-6)
Yuri [45]
Given that the triangle is dilated by factor 3, the image will be found as follows;
The object is at:
A(-7,-3), B(-3,-2), C(-4,-5)
when the image was enlarged the new coordinates will be:
A'=3(-7,-3)=(-21,-9)
B'=3(-3,-2)=(-9,-6)
C'=3(-4,-5)=(-12,-15)
since the image is centered at the point (-7,-6), the final point will be at:
A"=[(-21+-7),(-9+-6)=(-28,-15)
B''=[(-9+-7),(-6+-6)]=(-16,-12)
C''=[(-12+-7),(-15+-6)]=(-19,-17)
thus the coordinates of the final image are:
A''(-28,-15),B''(-16,-12),C''(-19,-17)
