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.

Which has the lowest heat capacity? (values of heat capacities and calculations are unnecessary).
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is Metals.

Generally, the specific heat of metals is low. Very high specific heat exists in water.A physical feature of matter known as heat capacity or thermal capacity is the quantity of heat that must be applied to an object in order to cause a unit change in temperature. Heat capacity is measured in joules per kelvin (J/K), the SI unit. A broad property is heat capacity. Use the following equation to determine heat capacity: heat capacity = E / T, where E is the quantity of delivered heat energy and T is the change in temperature. The formula would be as follows, for instance, if it takes 2,000 Joules of energy to raise a block's temperature by 5 degrees Celsius: 2,000 Joules per °C is the heat capacity.

Alina [70]
Range of a projectile motion is given by
R = v cos θ / g (v sin θ + sqrt(v^2 sin^2 θ + 2gy_0)); where R = 188m, θ = 41°, g = 9.8m/s^2, y_0 = 0.9

188 = v cos 41° / 9.8 (v sin 41° + sqrt(v^2 sin^2 41° + 2 x 9.8 x 0.9)) = 0.07701(0.6561v + sqrt(0.4304 v^2 + 17.64)) = 0.05053v + 0.07701sqrt(0.4304v^2 + 17.64)
0.07701sqrt(0.4304v^2 + 17.64) = 188 - 0.05053v
0.005931(0.4304v^2 + 17.64) = 35344 - 19v + 0.002553v^2
0.002553v^2 + 0.1046 = 35344 - 19v + 0.002553v^2
19v = 35344 - 0.1046 = 35343.8954
v = 35343.8954/19 = 1860 m/s
