The formula that is useful for solving both of these problems is ...
9. Given v₁=15, a=9.8, d=10, find v₂.
... (v₂)² = 15² + 2·9.8·10
... v₂ = √421 ≈ 20.5 . . . . m/s
10. Given d=12 m when a=-9.8 m/s² and v₂=0, find d when a=0.17·(-9.8 m/s²).
The formula tells us that d=(v₁)²/(2a), which is to say that the distance is inversely proportional to the acceleration. If acceleration is 0.17 times that on earth, distance will be 1/0.17 ≈ 5.88 times that on earth.
(12 m)/0.17 ≈ 70.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent the number of mochas bought with the variable , and the number of lattes bought with the variable
.
Since there are students, the total number of mochas and lattes bought must be
. This can be represented with the following equation:
We can also set up another equation based on the total amount spent on the coffe:
If we rearrange the first equation, we can solve for :
If we substitute this into the second equation, we can solve for :
Subtituting this back into the original equation, we can solve for :
Therefore, 9 mochas and 14 lattes were bought.
