To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion, specifically that of acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, mathematically this is

\vec{a} = \frac{\vec{v_2}-\vec{v_1}}{\Delta t}

If a mobile is decreasing its speed (it is slowing down), then its acceleration is in the opposite direction to the movement. This would imply that the acceleration vector is opposite to the velocity vector.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying. the helicopter flies for
igomit [66]

Answer:

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.

g ∝ T

where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.

Then,

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.

Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours

g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

\Rightarrow \frac{28}{g_2}=\frac{4}{5}

⇒28×5= g₂×4

⇒ g₂×4=28×5

\Rightarrow g_2=\frac{28\times 5}{4}

\Rightarrow g_2=35 gallons

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
