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

Answer:
e. 10√30
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right triangle geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means that the ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all triangles:
x/(10+50) = 50/x
Multiplying by 60x, we have ...
x^2 = 3000
x = 10√30 . . . . . take the square root. Matches choice E.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
You're looking for x. Examining the figure, you see that x is the long side of the triangle with hypotenuse 10+50=60, so it will be shorter than that value. x is also the hypotenuse of the triangle with long side 50. So, x will be longer than 50.
The only answer choice with a value between 50 and 60 is choice E.
You don't even need to know how to find x. You only need to know that the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(4)(2) + 4x = -4
multiply the 4 and 2
8 + 4x = -4
subtract 8 from both sides
4x = -12
divide both sides by 4
x = -3
Answer:
the number is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number
Let the unknown number be x
two third of the number is 
10 less than two third the number becomes
one fourth the number becomes 
10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number
We need to solve for x
LCD is 3*4 = 12
Multiply the whole equation by 12
8x - 120 = 3x
add 120 on both sides
8x = 3x + 120
Subtract 3x on both sides
5x = 120
divide by 5 on both sides
x= 24
