Answer:

option B

−1.92 m/s2

Explanation:

Given in the question,

time took by truck to slow down = 3.56 sec

initial speed of truck = 112 km/h

final speed of truck = 87.4 km/h

1 km/h = 0.277778 m/s

112 = 31.1 m/s

87.4 = 24.28 m/s

Formula use to calculate the acceleration

v - u = at

where v is final speed

u is initial speed

a is acceleration

t is time

plug values in the equation

24.28 - 31.1 = a(3.56)

-6.8 = a(3.56)

a = -6.8 / 3.56

a = -1.9 m/s²

A hazard sign has 3 identical

melomori [17]

Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.

For a parallelogram:

P = 2*length + 2*width

So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.

Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is

$h=\sqrt{18^{2}+6^{2}}$

$h=\sqrt{360}$

h = 19 in

Perimeter of the first stripe is

P = (2*19) + (2*3)

P = 44 inches

The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is

$P_{t}=$ 44 + 44 + 44

$P_{t}=$ 132 inches

To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.
