Do you have the distance from the Earth to Saturn?

Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

STatiana [176]

We can find the acceleration via

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

We have

$\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$

Then by definition of average acceleration,

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t$

so that

$-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

$v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2$

Then

$\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2$

$\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}$

In 2008, the price of gasoline was $2.79 per gallon. In 2009, the price of gasoline was

ikadub [295]

Answer:

36%

Step-by-step explanation:

line up $ and % data like this:

$2.79 represents 100%

$3.79 represents X%

cross multiply

X*2.79 = 3.79*100

divide both sides by 2.79

X= 3.79*100 / 2.79 ≈ 136%

so it increased 36%

Answer:Do you have a pic of the map? It would make it easier to solve if I could see the map. Its basic area. A=base times height. If the park is 50 m long and is a square, you would do 50 times 50=2500
