Answer:

  • 10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the horizontal distance is x

<u>Use tangent to solve this:</u>

  • tan 30° = 6/x
  • x = 6 / tan 30°
  • x = 10.4 mi (rounded)

Two drivers, Alison and Kevin, are participating in a drag race. Beginning from a standing start, they each proceed with a const
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Alison wins against Kevin by 0.93 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Alison covers the last 1/4 of the distance in 3 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_a, we have the following equation of motion

s/4 = a_at_a^2/2

where s (m) is the total distance, ta = 3 s is the time

s = 4a_a3^2/2 = 18a_a

a_a = s/18

Similarly, Kevin overs the last 1/3 of the distance in 4 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_k, we have the following equation of motion:

s/3 = a_kt_k^2/2

tk = 4 s is the time

s = 3a_k4^2/2 = 24a_k

a_k = s/24

Since a_a = s/18 we can conclude that a_a > a_k, so Alison would win.

The time it takes for Alison to cover the entire track

s = a_aT_a^2/2

T_a^2 = 2s/a_a = 2s/(s/18) = 36

T_a = \sqrt{36} = 6 s

The time it takes for Kevin to cover the entire track

s = a_kT_k^2/2

T_k^2 = 2s/a_k = 2s/(s/24) = 48

T_a = \sqrt{48} = 6.93 s

So Alison wins against Kevin by 6.93 - 6 = 0.93 s

Answer:

E: L is perpendicular to a line with slope -\frac{3}{2}.

Lines are perpendicular if the negative reciprocal of the slope is equal. For example, the reciprocal of \frac{2}{3} is \frac{3}{2} (remember, to get the reciprocal, simply switch the numerator and the denominator).

So, the negative reciprocal of \frac{2}{3} is -\frac{3}{2}. This represents the slope of a line that is perpendicular.
