Answer:

The inicial speed of the car was 80 feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use Torricelli formula to calculate the inicial speed of the car:

V2 = Vo2 + 2*a*D

where V is the final speed, Vo is the inicial speed, a is the acceleration and D is the total distance travelled.

Using V=0, a=-64 and D=50, we have:

0 = Vo2 + 2*(-64)*50

Vo2 = 2*64*50 = 6400

Vo = 80 ft/s

The inicial speed of the car was 80 feet per hour.

Answer:

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The deceleration is the rate at which the car speed decreases. In this case the speed of the car goes all the way down to 0 ft/s and in order to do that it travelled 50 ft.  So we will call the initial speed at which the car started to brake "v_0" and use Torricelli's equation to find it. The equation is given by:

v^2 = (v_0)^2 + 2*a*S

Where v is the final speed, v_0 is the initial speed, a is the rate of acceleration and S is the space travelled. Using the values that the problem gave to us we have:

0^2 = (v_0)^2 - 2*64*50

0 = (v_0)^2 - 6400

(v_0)^2 = 6400

v_0 = sqrt(6400) = 80 ft/s

Notice that in this case "a" was negative, since the car was decelerating instead of accelerating.

The initial speed of the car was 80 ft/s.

Answer: 15 cm to the highest total ; amount of triangles: 25  

Step-by-step explanation: for the height just add 3 cm until you reach the top, which will give you 15 cm

for the amount just count them and for the top top layer count up to 9, which will give you 25 triangles.

Simplify (4^7/5^2)^3
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4²¹/5⁶ or 4398046511104/15625

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, when raising a term with an exponent to some power, you must multiply the powers.

(\frac{4^{7} }{5^{2} })^{3} \\\\ = (\frac{(4^{7})^{3} }{(5^{2})^{3} }) \\\\= \frac{4^{7 * 3} }{5^{2* 3} } \\\\= \frac{4^{21} }{5^{6} } \\\\=\frac{4398046511104}{15625}
