Answer:

Bicycle: 30 miles/hour

Scooter: 40 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the bicycle be s,

Then the speed of the scooter is:

s + 10

Distance = speed × time

Distances covered:

Bicycle: (s)(5½) = 5.5s

Scooter: (s + 10)(3) = 3s + 30

Total:

5.5s + 3s + 30

8.5s + 30

8.5s + 30《285

8.5s《255

s《30

s + 10《40

For a person who has a mass 60 kg , calculate the weight in Newton if 1 In equals 4.45 N , then what is the person's weight in p
wel

Answer:

The answer to your question is  a) 588.6 N   b) 132.3 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass = 60 kg

weight = ?

Process

1.- Write the formula of weight

     Weight = mass x gravity

gravity = 9.81 m/s²

2.- Substitution

     Weight = 60 x 9.81

3.- Result

     Weight = 588.6 kg m/s² = 588.6 N

4.- Convert Newtons to Pounds

                     1 pound -----------  4.45 N

                     x            ----------- 588.6 N

                     x = (588.6 x 1) / 4.45

                     x = 132.3 pounds

Stuck on this. 60 points!
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Statement 1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take t^2 - 16t + 55 and find some of its graphical values, you will get:

Turning point: (8,-9)

Roots: (5,0) and (11,0)

When this graph is plotted and you imagine the x axis to be time (as stated in the question), each of the roots (x - intercept) must be when the swimmer goes under and when they come back up.

This means that the swimmer dived under the water at 5 seconds and came back up at 9, making the first 2 statements correct.

Now the fourth statement is ruled out.

The fifth statement is not plausible as the graph would have to have more than 2 roots for the swimmer to enter the water twice.

That leaves the third statement. If you imagine the depth of the swimmer to be the y axis of our imaginary graph, and we know that the y axis of the turning point is -9, that means that the swimmer's deepest dive was 9 feet under the water, ruling out the third statement too.

Hope this helps :D

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?
ira [324]
<span>For a system of equations to have infinitely many solutions, the equations have to be lineary dependent, (i.e. one of the equations is a multiple of the other equation). For the given equation to have infinitely many solutions, the second equation have to be a multiple of the first equation. The first equation can be rewritten as y - 2x = -5 The second equation is the first equation multiplied by 2, i.e. 2(y - 2x= -5) = 2y - 4x = -10 Therefore, the correct answer is -10 (option a).</span>
