Answer:the car was traveling at a speed of 80 ft/s when the brakes were first applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car braked with a constant deceleration of 16ft/s^2. This is a negative acceleration. Therefore,

a = - 16ft/s^2

While decelerating, the car produced skid marks measuring 200 feet before coming to a stop.

This means that it travelled a distance,

s = 200 feet

We want to determine how fast the car was traveling (in ft/s) when the brakes were first applied. This is the car's initial velocity, u.

Since the car came to a stop, its final velocity, v = 0

Applying Newton's equation of motion,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0 = u^2 - 2 × 16 × 200

u^2 = 6400

u = √6400

u = 80 ft/s

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.

3 out of 5 picks are orange. if 12 picks are orange haw many picks are in all
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

There were 20 picks total

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem.  Put the orange picks on top and the total picks on bottom

3 orange         12 orange

-------------- =   ---------------

5 total                x total

Using cross products

3x = 5*12

3x= 60

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 60/3

x = 20

There were 20 picks total
