Truck covers 40 m in 8.5 seconds slowing to a final speed of 2.8 m/s find original speed

1 answer:

7 0

V = u + at
2.8 = u + a*8.5
2.8 = u + 8.5a

s = ut + 0.5at^2
40 = u*8.5 + 0.5*a*8.5^2
40 = 8.5u + 36.125a

(2.8 = u + 8.5a) * 8.5
23.8 = 8.5u + 72.25a

Subtract those equations
16.2 = - 36.125a
a = 0.448

2.8 = u + (8.5*-0.448)
2.8 = u - 3.8
u = 6.6 m/s

Answer:

When X = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Use derivative to locate the turning point.

48 - 2X = 0, => X = 24

Assume that women's heights are normally distributed with a mean given by mu equals 62.5 in,and a standard deviation given by

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

(a) 0.5899

(b) 0.9166

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that represents the height of a woman. Then, X is normally distributed with

$\mu$ = 62.5 in

$\sigma$ = 2.2 in

the normal probability density function is given by

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}2.2}\exp{-\frac{(x-62.5)^{2}}{2(2.2)^{2}}}$ , then

(a) $P(X < 63) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{63}f(x) dx$ = 0.5899

(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2)

(b) We are seeking $P(\bar{X} < 63)$ where n = 37. $\bar{X}$ is normally distributed with mean 62.5 in and standard deviation $2.2/\sqrt{37}$ . So, the probability density function is given by
