Two trains 300 miles apart are heading toward each other on the same track. The first one travels at 100 miles per hour and the

second at 50 miles per hour. As the trains depart, a jet-powered drone flying 200 miles per hour leaves the first train and heads for the second. Upon reaching it, the drone instantaneously turns around and heads back towards the first. The drone continues back and forth in this manner. How far in miles will the drone fly before being crushed between the two trains?

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

u = 50 km/hr

v = 100 km/hr

d = 300 km

b = 200 km/hr

= b*d/(u+v)  

=  200* 300/(50+100)  

= 400

PLEASE HELP FOR A BRAINLIEST!!!! Create your own example and explain how to solve Quadratic Equation using Quadratic Formula. Wh
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Create your own example and explain how to solve Quadratic Equation using Quadratic Formula.

The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations. It is shown as   x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

A quadratic equation is generally shown in the form of ax^{2} +bx + c = 0

For example, if you saw the equation  7x^{2} + 3x + 20 = 0

7 would be a, 3 would be b, and 20 would be c.

To solve the equation above, you would fill in the quadratic formula as such, x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(7)(20)}}{2(7)}

Then you could solve for x.

2. What part in the Quadratic Formula is the discriminant?

The discriminant is the equation under the square root on the quadratic formula, b^{2} - 4ac

It is tells us whether there are two solutions, one solutions, or no solutions.

3.  How do you know the number of solutions based on the value of the discriminant?

To know the number of solutions based off of the value of the discriminant, you need to plug in your values. Using the example quadratic equation, 7x^{2} + 3x + 20 = 0

We will plug the values into the discriminant.

3^{2} - 4(7)(20) = -551

Now, if the discriminant is positive it has two real solutions. If the discriminant is zero the equation has no real-number solutions. And finally, if the discriminant is negative, the equation has one real solution. Because our discriminant is -551, the example equation has one real solution.

Hope this helps! (Please consider Brainliest)

Only 18 people are allowed on a ride at the same time. There are 157 people waiting in line. How many groups of riders will ther
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 157 by 8 to see how many groups there are.

157/18=8r13. So you can round up to 9 groups of riders as there is a max of 18 at a time.

You bicycle along a straight flat road with a safety light attached to one foot. Your bike moves at a speed of 15 km/hr and your
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a)

x(t) = ( 4.167 t + 0.2 cos (2πt))

y(t) = ( 0.3 - 0.2 sin  (2πt))

b) the  foot have to be 3.32 rev/sec faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the speed of the bike = 15 km/hr = 15 × 1000/3600 (m/sec) = 4.167 m/sec

radius of the circle when the foot moves = 20 cm = 0.2 m

radius of the circle above the ground = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let assume that:

x(t)  should represent the vector along the horizontal moment

y(t) should be the vector along the vertical moment

The initial component will be ( 0, 0.3)

We know that the radius of the circle is given as 0.2 m, So the vector of the circle can be written as (0.2 cos t , 0.2 sin t )

Also, the foot makes one revolution in a second, definitely the frequency of the revolution = 1 and the vector for the circle is ( 0.2 cos (2πt), -0.2 sin  (2πt)), due to the fact that the foot moves clockwise.

Thus, adding all the component together ; we have:

(x(t), y(t)) = (0,0.3)+(4.167 t , 0)+(0.2 cos (2πt), -0.2 sin  (2πt))

(x(t), y(t)) = (4.167 t + 0.2 cos (2πt), 0.3 - 0.2 sin  (2πt))

Hence; the parametric equations are:

x(t) = ( 4.167 t + 0.2 cos (2πt))

y(t) = ( 0.3 - 0.2 sin  (2πt))

b)

The linear speed of rotation is :

15km/hr = 15 × 100, 000/3600 (cm/sec)

             = 416.7 cm/sec

The rotational frequency is :

= 416.7/2πr

= 416.7/2(3.14 × 20)

= 3.32 rev/sec

Hence, the  foot have to be 3.32 rev/sec faster in rotating if an observer standing at the side of the road sees the light moving backward.
