Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=lucy and y=chuck

we know that in total they found 92 arrowheads which means that

x+y=92

we also know that lucy found 6 more than chuck which means taht

x-6=y

Let's solve this through substitution

Looking at the second equation we know exactly what y is equal to in terms of x so we can plug this in (x-6) whenever we see a y in the first equation

so we have

x+(x-6)=92

solve for x and get

2x=98

x=49

Now that we know what x is equal to we can solve for y

49-6=y

y=43

This means that lucy found 49 and chuck found 43

In this figure, sin(a) = 23

WITCHER [35]

$a$ and $b$ are complementary, or $b=\dfrac\pi2-a$ . So

$\cos b=\cos\left(\dfrac\pi2-a\right)=\sin a$

and so $\cos b=\dfrac23$ .

4. How fast was a driver going if the car left skid marks that were 32 feet long on dry concrete? (The coefficient of friction i

Monica [59]

Answer:

$v_{o} \approx 31.247\,mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

The deceleration experimented by the car is the product of kinetic coefficient of friction and gravitational constant:

$a = \mu_{k}\cdot g$

$a = (1.02)\cdot \left(32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} \right)$

$a = 32.817\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$

The initial speed is computed from the following kinematic expression:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2\cdot a \cdot \Delta s$

$v_{o} = \sqrt{v^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot \Delta s}$

$v_{o} = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{ft}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(32.817\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (32\,ft)}$

$v_{o}\approx 45.829\,\frac{ft}{s}$

$v_{o} \approx 31.247\,mph$
