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

Can u tell me the answers and how u got them? <br>questions 23-27<br>thx

I only know 23
6x-4 x=4-6=-10
4x+24 x=24-4=20
So! 20-(-10)=10 or 30 because you change the sign with this rule
if the sign are the same you keep change, change. which means keep 20 change - to + and change - to +, so then it becomes 20+(+10)

Find the value of $x$ so that the ratios are equivalent.<br><br> x:5/2 and 8:10

Scrat [10]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what we need is that the ratios be equal, which is:

x:(5/2) = 8:10 or, what is the same:

x/(5/2) = 8/10

Lets pick the left term x/(5/2) and multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the denominator:

2x/2(5/2) = 2x/5

Now, we would like to make a 10 appear on the denominator. As we already have a five we need to multiply numerator and denominator by the num that, multiplied by 5 gives as 10, this is 2:

2(2x)/2(5) = 4x / 10

So, we transformed x/(5/2) in 4x/10, and both are the same, so we can replace it on our first equation:

4x/10 = 8/10

As both denominators are equal, we can concentrate only in numerators:

4x = 8

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 2

So, for x=2 both ratios are equivalents.

The Earth's circumference measured at the equator is approximately 1.3148 × 108 feet. What is the number written in standard for

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The number written in standard form is $131,480,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$1.3148*10^8$

we know that

$10^8=100,000,000$

substitute

$1.3148*10^8=1.3148(100,000,000)$

Remember that

When multiplying decimals by 10, move the decimal point one space to the right

In this case move the decimal point eight spaces to the right

$1.3148(100,000,000)=131,480,000$

therefore

The number written in standard form is $131,480,000$

A sidewalk is built 12 bricks wide by laying each brick side by side.how many inches wide is this sidewalk is each brick measure

yaroslaw [1]

To solve for the width simply multiply the two numbers:

width of sidewalk = 12 * (3 7/8)

Where 3 7/8 = 31/8

so calculating,

width of sidewalk = 12 * (31 / 8)

<span>width of sidewalk = 46.5 inches</span>
