Answer:
n < 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving an inequality is just like solving an equation, one uses inverse operations. The only difference is that when one multiplies or divides by a negative number, one must remember to flip the inequality sign to ensure that the expression remains true.
Although the formula looks involved, the key here is looking to see where the information goes.
We are given all the pieces but need to convert mph to ft/s to use the formula. Let's do it with 1 mph so that we have a ratio to use. We and solve a unit conversion problem.
That ratio tells us that 1 mph is 1.466666 ft/s. Now we solve two proportions.
1 mph / 1.466666 feet per second = 60 mph / x feet per second.
1x = (60)(1.466666)
So x = 88 feet per second.
Next, We repeat for 24 mph.
1 mph / 1.46666 feet per second = 24 mph / x feet per second.
1x = (1.4666666)(24)
x = 35.2 feet per second
Now we have the found appropriate V₁ and V₂. V₁ > V₂, so V₁ is 88 ft/s and V₂ is 35.2 ft/s. The problem tells us θ = 2.3 degrees, K₁ = .4 and K₂ = .06. The rest of the problem is calculator work. Start by substituting our degree measure of 2.3 degrees and the given values in the problem for V₁, V₂, K₁, and K₂
D = 6830.208 / 32.208372
D = 212.0631 = 212 (to the nearest foot)
Thus the car needs 212 feet to stop.
