Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

e instant the brakes were applied and then traveled a distance of 115 m before hitting an obstacle at a velocity of 5.20 m/s. Determine the car's acceleration a (assumed constant) and the time t between applying the brakes and hitting the obstacle. (Assume the car is moving in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

We can find the acceleration via

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

We have

\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)

\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}

Then by definition of average acceleration,

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t

so that

-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t

\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2

Then

\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2

\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}

60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'

Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'

Total tickets sold = 250

Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4

Total money collected= $910

Given that,
a + c = 250
a = 250 - c
4a + 2.5c = 910

Substitute a value
4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 1.5c = 910
-1. 5c = -90
1.5c = 90
c = 90/1.5
c = 60
a + c = 250
a + 60 = 250
a = 190

(40x9)÷(4x8)=x solve for variable of x
nikklg [1K]
The answer is:  " x = 11 ¼ "  ; or write as:  " x = 11.25 " .
_________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________
  (40*9) ÷ (4*8) = x  ;  Solve for "x" ;

(40 * 9 = 360) .

(4 * 8 = 32) .

(360) ÷ (32) = 45/4 = 11 ¼  ; or write as:  11.25 .
