Two particles, A and B, are initially 37.5 m apart. A is projected in a straight line directly towards B with initial speed 2 ms

^–1 and accelerates uniformly at 0.6 ms^–2. At the instant when A is released, B is projected in a straight line directly towards A with an initial speed of 3 ms^–1 and it accelerates uniformly at 0.4 ms^–2. The particles collide at point C. Find the distance from A's starting point to C. (Please explain how you get the answer, I don't understand how to get to it!!!! Thanks!)

Answer: 6.66 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two particles, A and B, are initially 37.5 m apart.

Acceleration a = velocity/time

Make time t the subject of the formula.

Time t = velocity/acceleration

Time taken by particle A will be

Time t = 2/0.6 = 3.33 seconds

Let's use 2nd equation of motion

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

Distance covered by particle A will be achieved By substitute the values for speed and acceleration into the formula

S = 2 × 3.33 + 1/2 × 0.6 × 3.33^2

S = 6.66 + 0.3 × 11.1

S = 9.99 m

Time taken by particle B will be

Time t = 3/0.4 = 7.5 seconds

Distance covered by particle B will be by using the same formula

S = 3 × 7.5 + 1/2 × 0.4 × 7.5^2

S = 22.5 + 0.2 × 56.25

S = 33.75 metres

Adding the distance covered by particle A

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 2 × 3.33 = 6.66

the distance from A's starting point to C. Is 6.66 metres

The population of a town after t years is represented by the function f(t)=7,248(0.983)tf(t)=7,248(0.983)t.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The population of the town is 0.983 times the population of the town in the previous year.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function which represent population of a town after t years.

$f(t)=7248(0.983)^t$

It is an exponential function. Exponential function wither decease or increase it depends on factor.

$y=a\cdot b^x$

b is factor which decides factor of exponential function decrease or increase.

If b >1 then function increase

If 0<b<1 then function decrease.

If we see our problem $f(t)=7248(0.983)^t$

Here, b=0.983<1

Function would be decrease by factor of 0.983

Thus, The population of the town is 0.983 times the population of the town in the previous year.

A line segment has endpoints at (8, 3) and (2,5). What would be the equation of this line's perpendicular bisector?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

y = −1/3x+17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line segment has slope -1/3. This means that any line perpendicular to it will have a slope of 3 (negative reciprocal)

Any line that bisects the line segment will pass through its midpoint. The midpoint is (5,4)

Midpoint formula: $( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

So perpendicular bisector of this line is simply a line with slope −1/3 that passes through point (5, 4)

y - 4 = -1/3 (x-5)=

y = −1/3x+17/3

Can someone please help me with this again? 5-7<br><br>Thank you so much!

Hi there!

5.

Use the property:

$\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a - b}$
Now, solve by variable.

$\frac{x^2}{x} = x^{2 - 1} = x\\\\\frac{y^5}{y^4} = y^{5 - 4} = y$

Rewrite:
$= x * y * z^3 = \boxed{\text{ D. } xyz^3}}$

6.

Solve the inside of the parenthesis, and each term separately.

Use the property:
$x^0 = 1$

$(7 + 3^2)^0 = 1 \\\\(8^0 + 3)^2 = (1 + 3)^2 = 4^2 = 16\\\\1 + 16 = \boxed{ \text{ C. } 17}$

7.

Solve like above:
$(4 + 2^2)^0 = 1\\\\(7^0 + 4)^{-3} = (1 + 4)^{-3} = 5^{-3}$

The negative exponent indicates taking the reciprocal. Using the property:
$x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}$

Therefore:
$5^{-3} = \frac{1}{5^3} = \boxed{ \text{ D. }\frac{1}{125}}$
