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

pentagon [3]

Answer:

8 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked in the above question to find the most number of cookies that would be in the bag.

We solve the above question using the Greatest Common Factor method

We find the factors of 16, 24, 32

The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Then the greatest common factor is 8.

Therefore, the most number of each type of cookie that will be in the bag is 8 cookies

The bacteria in an old piece of cheese is growing at a rate that can be modeled by y = 280 • 2^x. Determine which number represe
Katyanochek1 [597]
The answer is <span>C.) 2

The general form of formula is
y = a </span><span>• r^x
y - the total number of bacteria after x period of time
a - the initial number of bacteria
r - growth rate
x - period of time

Let's compare:
</span>y =    a   • r^x
<span>y = 280 • 2^x

Since r = 2, the growth rate is C.) 2</span>

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

3/70

Step-by-step explanation:

3 orange,6 pink , 1 yellow , and 5 red = 15

P(pink) = number of pink/ total = 6/15 = 3/5

Then without putting it back

3 orange,5 pink , 1 yellow , and 5 red = 14

P(yellow) = number of yellow/ total = 1/14

P(pink, no replacement, yellow) = 3/5*1/14 = 3/70
