Answer:

The distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the faster car, v₁ = 60 mi/h

speed of the slower car, v₂ = 55 mi/h

Let the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car = x miles

\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60}   = \frac{15}{60}

Note: divide 15 mins by 60 to convert to hours for consistency in the units.

\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60}   = \frac{15}{60}\\\\multiple \ through \ by \ 660\\\\12x - 11x = 165\\\\x = 165 \ miles

Therefore, the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

How much heat is absorbed by a 28g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 7oC to 29oC?
prohojiy [21]
From the information given above, 
Mass [M] = 28 g
Change in temperature = 29 - 7 = 22 
Specific heat of iron = 0.449 [This value is constant]
The formula for calculating heat absorbed, Q is
Q = Mass * Specific heat of Iron * change in temperature
Q = 28 * 0.449 * 22 = 276.58 J<span />

How much potential energy does a 40-N medicine ball gain when it is lifted 5 m?
777dan777 [17]
We know, Potential Energy = Force * Height
Here, F = 40 N
h = 5 m

Substitute their values, 
U = 40 * 5
U = 200 J

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

A 14,700 N car is traveling at 25 m/s. The brakes are applied suddenly, and the car slides to a stop. The average braking force
Vlada [557]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

vo = 25 m/sec 
<span>vf = 0 m/sec </span>
<span>Fμ = 7100 N (Force due to friction) </span>
<span>Fg = 14700 N </span>
<span>With the force due to gravity, you can find the mass of the car: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>14700 N = m (9.8 m/sec²) </span>
<span>m = 1500 kg </span>
<span>Now, we can use the equation again to find the deacceleration due to friction: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>7100 N = (1500 kg) a </span>
<span>a = 4.73333333333 m/sec² </span>
<span>And now, we can use a velocity formula to find the distance traveled: </span>
<span>vf² = vo² + 2a∆d </span>
<span>0 = (25 m/sec)² + 2 (-4.73333333333 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>0 = 625 m²/sec² + (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>-625 m²/sec² = (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>∆d = 66.0211267605634 m </span>
<span>∆d = 66.02 m</span>
