<u>Answer- </u>Wendy spent 3 hours on the train

<u>Solution-</u>

The distance between the cities= 500 mi.

She traveled part of the way by bus, and other part by train.

The bus averaged 40 mph, and the train averaged 120 mph.

The entire trip took 6.5 hours.

let d = distance traveled by train

the total distance was given as 500 mi ,

therefore, distance traveled by bus  = (500-d) mi

time = distance/speed

⇒ train traveling time + bus traveling time = 6.5 hrs

⇒ \frac{d}{120} +\frac{500-d}{40} = 6.5

⇒ d + 3(500-d) = 120(6.5)

⇒ d + 1500 - 3d = 780

⇒ 2d = 720

⇒ d = 360  mi

so d = 360 mi by train

⇒ 360/120 = 3 hrs on the train

Sandra throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 38 ft/s from a platform that is 30 ft above the gro
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height.

In this case, the initial postion is a platform 30ft above ground so h0=+30

The initial velocity is 38 ft/s straight up into the air so v0=+38

h(t)=-16t2+38t+30

When the object hits the ground, h=0.

h=-16t2+38t+30=0

Simplifying 8t2-19t-15=0

(8t+5)(t-3)=0

t=-5/8 or 3

As time cannot be -ve, t=3s. The answer is C.
