Working: 3x + (3x - 16) = 136
6x - 16 = 136
6x = 152
x = 25 1/3
(longer piece) = 76 ft
(shorter piece) = 60ft

Anastasy [175]
As the comments state, the velocity is the derivative of the position.

Therefore, the velocity as function of time is:

ds / dt = 24 + 6t - 3t^2.

That is a parabola whose maximum is (1,27). With that you know that the velocity will never be either 63 m/s or 81 m/s.

Also, you know that the velocity at t = 1 s is 27 m/s.

And, you can also find that the velocity at t = 3 is 15 m/s.

I am confident on that this analysis solves your question. Else, insert a comment.

When two objects reach the same time-space coordinates, they generally collide with each other. How is this different from what
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Waves superimpose upon each other when they collide, while objects do not

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between the collision of waves and the collision of objects is simply the superposition principle.

When waves collide, they do not do so in the same way objects do. The superposition principle explains that waves can either collide in a constructive or destructive manner.

Case A: Waves colliding in a constructive manner

When waves collide in a constructive manner, this means that they are in phase, in simpler terms, it means that they have the same shape as they move through space-time. Constructive collision leads to a formation of a bigger wave with a higher amplitude. This is how stereo speakers operate. They produce louder sounds by releasing the same audio waves, causing them to superimpose upon each other.

Case B: Waves colliding in a destructive manner:

When waves are out of phase(i.e do not have the same shape as they move through space-time) and they collide, they try to cancel each other out, leading to a new wave with a weaker amplitude. This is how noise-cancelling headphones work. They emit an equal and opposite wave sound to the noise around your ears, thus cancelling it out.

If rs =3x + 1, st = 2x- 2 ,and rt = 64,find the value of x
stealth61 [152]
             rs + st = rt     Plug in the values
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64   Combine like terms (1 and -2)
       3x -1 + 2x = 64   Combine like terms (3x and 2x)
            -1 + 5x = 64   Add 1 to both sides
                  5x = 65   Divide both sides by 5
                    x = 13
