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.

On a normal distribution of iq test scores, the average score would be:
spayn [35]

The average IQ test score would be 100.

What is a normal distribution?

A probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean or average is the normal distribution, sometimes referred to as the Gaussian distribution. It demonstrates that data that are close to the average value occur more frequently than data that are far from the mean. The normal distribution appears as a "bell curve" on a graph.

Average IQ Score

A score of 100 is regarded as the average IQ on various tests. The majority of results (68%) are within one standard deviation of the mean (that is, between 85 and 115). This indicates that the average result is within plus or minus 15 points for almost 70% of test takers.
