Answer:
y = 6
x = 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + y =7
20x + 2 = y
5x(4) + y(4) = 7(4)
20x + 4y = 28
(20x = 28 - 4y) = (20x = y - 2)
28 - 4y = y - 2
30 - 4y = y
30 = 5y
y = 6
5x + y =7
20x + 2 = y
y = 7 - 5x
7 - 5x = 20x + 2
5 - 5x = 20x
5 = 25x
x = 0.2
Answer: 72 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the relationship:
Distance = speed*time.
Then we can write the equation for distance as a function of time for Ali as:
A(t) = 12mph*t
where t is time in hours.
Fatimah's equation will be:
F(t) = 18mph*(t - 2h)
where the -2h appears because she starts two hours after Ali.
Fatimah will overtake Ali when F(t) = A(t) (their positions are the same)
Then we need to solve:
12mph*t = 18mph*(t - 2h)
12mph*t = 18mph*t - 18mph*2h
12mph*t = 18mph*t - 36 mi
36 mi = (18mph - 12mph)*t
36mi = 6mph*t
36mi/6mph = t
6h = t
So Ali travels for 6 hours before he gets overtaken, then the total distance that Ali travels is:
A(6h) = 12mph*6h = 72 mi
Answer:
.214 if it is to 3 decimal places.
Answer:
1) False. 2) True. 3) True. 4) False.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) False. The force of gravity will drive it down. The path will form a parabola.
2) True. There is no variation in the velocity in the horizontal axis and no force applied so the acceleration is zero.
3) True. The travel time depends on the height and the acceleration of gravity, and independent of the velocity of the rocket at launch.
4) False. The travel distance depends on the initial velocity of the rocket (at launch).
