Answer:

80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the car (v_0) = 40 ft/sec

Deceleration of the car (\frac{dv}{dt}) = -10 ft/sec²

Final speed of the car (v_x) = 0 ft/sec

Let the distance traveled by the car be 'x' at any time 't'. Let 'v' be the velocity at any time 't'.

Now, deceleration means rate of decrease of velocity.

So, \frac{dv}{dt}=-10\ ft/sec^2

Negative sign means the velocity is decreasing with time.

Now, \frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{dv}{dx}(\frac{dx}{dt}) using chain rule of differentiation. Therefore,

\frac{dv}{dx}\cdot\frac{dx}{dt}= -10\\\\But\ \frac{dx}{dt}=v.\ So,\\\\v\frac{dv}{dx}=-10\\\\vdv=-10dx

Integrating both sides under the limit 40 to 0 for 'v' and 0 to 'x' for 'x'. This gives,

\int\limits^0_{40} {v} \, dv=\int\limits^x_0 {-10} \, dx\\\\\left [ \frac{v^2}{2} \right ]_{40}^{0}=-10x\\\\-10x=\frac{0}{2}-\frac{1600}{2}\\\\10x=800\\\\x=\frac{800}{10}=80\ ft

Therefore, the car travels a distance of 80 feet before stopping.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

2c + 7 > 0

2c > -7

c > -7/2

If c < -7/2

-2c -7 -3 > 4

-2c > 14

c < -7

if c > -7/2

2c + 7 -3 >4

2c >0

c >0

Can someone please explain C-12=-4 to me
nlexa [21]

Answer:

C = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So to get C by itself, we need to add 12 to both sides of the equation, which is the opposite of subtracting:

C - 12 = -4

C - 12 + 12 = -4 + 12

C = 8

Inscribed angle<br> Help please
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the inscribed angle is half of measure of the intercepted arc .

Find the half of 192.

192/2 = 96

The inscribed angle is 96°.

Create an equation and solve for x.

31x + 3 = 96

31x + 3 - 3 = 96 - 3

31X = 93

31x/31 = 93/31

x = 3
