Given:

Table of values.

The train travels at a constant speed.

To find:

The speed of train in miles per hour.

Solution:

From the given table consider any two points, i.e., (0.5,22.5) and (1,45).

The train travels at a constant speed. It means, there is a linear relationship between time and distance.

The average rate of change (Slope) of a linear relationship is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{45-22.5}{1-0.5}

m=\dfrac{22.5}{0.5}

m=\dfrac{225}{5}

m=45

So, average rate of change in distance with respect to time is 45.

Therefore, the speed of the train is 45 miles per hour.

The plate is rotated 90° about the origin in the counterclockwise direction. In the image trapezoid, what are the coordinates of
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The coordinates of the endpoints of the side congruent to side EF is:

E'(-8,-4) and F'(-5,-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>" when point M (h, k) is rotated about the origin O through 90° in anticlockwise direction or we can say counter clockwise. The new position of point </em><em>M (h, k) will become M' (-k, h) "</em>

We are given a trapezoid such that the vertices of trapezoid are:

E(-4,8) , F(-7,5) , G(-4,3) , H(-2,5)

Then the new coordinates after the given transformation is:

E(-4,8) → E'(-8,-4)

F(-7,5) → F'(-5,-7)

G(-4,3) → G'(-3,-4)

H(-2,5) → H'(-5,-2)

Hence the coordinates of the endpoints of the side congruent to side EF is:

E'(-8,-4) and F'(-5,-7).

What is the force of gravity (in Newtons) acting between the Earth and a 100-kg person who is on board the International Space S
ratelena [41]

Answer:

f_{G}=317877.55 N = 317.8 kN

Step-by-step explanation:

f_{G}= (G*m_{1}*m_{2})/r^{2}  \\Where:\\f_{G}= force  of  gravity\\G=gravitational constant= 6.6x10^{-11}m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2}\\ m_{1}= earth mass = 5.9x10^{24}kg\\m_{2}=person mass = 100kg\\r= distance between the bodies=350km= 350 000 m

Dave walked to his friends house at a rate of 4 mph and returned biking at a rate of 10 mph. If it took him 18 minutes longer to
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The total distance of the round trip was 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check all the information given to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Dave walking to his friend's house = 4 mph

Speed of Dave biking from his friend's house = 10 mph

Time walking is 18 minutes longer than time biking

2. What was the total distance of the round trip?

Time walking = x

Time biking = x - 18

For solving x, we will use the following equation:

4x = 10 * (x - 18)

4x = 10x - 180

-6x = - 180

x = -180/-6 (Dividing by - 6)

x = 30

Dave walked 30 minutes and biked 12 minutes, now we can calculate the total distance, this way:

30 minutes = 0.5 hours and 12 minutes = 0.2 hours

Total distance = 4 *0.5 + 10 * 0.2

Total distance = 2 + 2

Total distance = 4 miles.
