Answer:

Time spent on the greenway road  = 4.5 hours

Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours

Explanation:

The distance of the trip  is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.

Let us divide the trip into two

Greenway

speed = distance/time

speed = 62 mph

time = a

distance = speed × time

distance = 62a

2 lane highway

speed = distance/time

speed = 54 mph

time = b

distance = speed × time

distance = 54b

Total distance

62a + 54b = 360......................(i)

Total time

a + b = 6..............................(ii)

a = 6-b

insert a in equation (i)

62(6-b) + 54b = 360

372  - 62b + 54b = 360

-8b = 360-372

-8b = - 12

b = 12/8

b = 1.5

from equation (ii)

a + 1.5 = 6

a = 6 - 1.5

a = 4.5

A carton is given a push across a horizontal, frictionless surface. The carton has a mass m, the push gives it an initial speed
sammy [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Carbon mass = m

Initial speed = v_i

Coefficient = μk

Based on the above information, the expressions are as follows

a. By using the energy considerations the expression for the carton moving distance is

As we know that

Fd = \frac{1}{2} m (v_i^2- v_f^2)

where,

v_f = 0

F = u_kmg

(\mu_kg) d = \frac{1}{2} m v_i^2

d = \frac{\frac{1}{2}v_i^2}{\mu_kg}

d = \frac{v_i^2}{2 \mu_kg}

b. The initial speed of the carton if the factor of 3 risen, so the expression is

v_i^1 = 3v_i

d^i = \frac{(3v_i^2)}{2\mu_kg}

= \frac{9v_i^2}{2\mu_kg}

d^i = 9(d)
