Answer: 20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

1. I would advise this student to manage homework by doing it as soon as possible, like on the ride home, or even during free-time during school. I would never advise to put it off until the day it is due. They should also go over their homework a few times to retain new knowledge.
2. This student should take NEAT notes, and have organization as top priority. Notes should also be detailed to prevent confusion.
3. When reading, this student should NOT skim, you could miss vital information. You should also reread if you have time.
4. One last thing, when doing homework or reading, you should block out as much distractions as possible.

Really hope this helps!!

As the metal expands as does the road bed so neither really effevts those foing over the bridge. as it is hot the metal will expand and so will most tarmac on roads.

An object moves in a straight path. Its position x as a function of time t is presented by the equation x(t) = at – bt2+c, where

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

x(t) = at – bt2+c

a) x(t) = at – bt2+c

Substituting a = 1.4 m/s, b = 0.06 m/s2 and c =50 m gives:

x(t) = 1.4t - 0.06t² + 50

At t = 5, x(5) = 1.4(5) - 0.06(5)² + 50 = 55.5 m

At t = 0, x(0) = 1.4(0) - 0.06(0)² + 50 = 50 m

The average velocity (v) is given as:

$v=\frac{x(5)-x(0)}{5-0}\\ \\v=\frac{55.5-50}{5-0}=1.1\\ \\v=1.1\ m/s$

b) x(t) = 1.4t - 0.06t² + 50

At t = 10, x(10) = 1.4(10) - 0.06(10)² + 50 = 58 m

At t = 0, x(0) = 1.4(0) - 0.06(0)² + 50 = 50 m

The average velocity (v) is given as:

$v=\frac{x(10)-x(0)}{10-0}\\ \\v=\frac{58-50}{10-0}=0.8\\ \\v=0.8\ m/s$

c) x(t) = 1.4t - 0.06t² + 50

At t = 15, x(5) = 1.4(15) - 0.06(15)² + 50 = 57.5 m

At t = 10, x(10) = 1.4(10) - 0.06(10)² + 50 = 58 m

The average velocity (v) is given as:

$v=\frac{x(15)-x(10)}{15-10}\\ \\v=\frac{57.5-58}{15-10}=0.1\\ \\v=0.1\ m/s$
