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}

If a manufacturer conducted a survey among randomly selected target market households and wanted to be 95​% confident that the d
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

We need a sample size of least 119

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Sample size needed

At least n, in which n is found when M = 0.09

We don't know the proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5, which is when we would need the largest sample size.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.09 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.09\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09})^{2}

n = 118.6

Rounding up

We need a sample size of least 119

ASAP! What is the surface area of the solid?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

I think is is 14 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 plus 2 plus 5 plus 5 = 14

I don't know if this is right.

not times because 2 time 2 times 5 times 5 equals 100. there is no 100 . divide is not working and subtract is not working so add. I hoke this is correct and helps.
