Answer:

B) biker at 12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is proportional to time when velocity is constant. It is not constant in the case of stop-and-go traffic, a baseball*, or a slowing car. The speed of the person biking is given as a constant 12 mph, so that person is traveling a distance proportional to time.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

* It depends. The usual assumption is that horizontal speed is constant, in which case the distance from the hitter along the ground is proportional to time. If you are modeling the real world, the ball slows due to air resistance, so distance is not proportional to time.

If you are concerned with the actual distance the baseball travels through the air, the ball's speed slows as it gains height, then increases again as it falls to the ground. The speed is not constant during any part of that travel.

Cal's go cart has a gas tank with the dimensions shown below.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 2 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the volume of the go cart tank, which has the form of a rectangular prism. You can use the following formula:

$V=l*w*h$

Where:

l: is the lenght.

w: is the width.

h: is the height.

In this case:

$l=15.4in\\w=10in\\h=3in$

Substitute values into the formula. Then:

$V=(15.4in)(10in)(3in)=462in^3$

If a gas can holds 1 gallon of gas and $1\ gallon=231\ in^3$ , then the number of full gas cans that will take to fill the go cart's tank (whose volume is 462 in³) is:

$gas\ cans=\frac{(462in^3)(1can)}{(231in^3)}=2\ cans$

Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

$4.51\times10^{-10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only 2 solutions for none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks: only if they are laid out in either of the 2 diagonal of the chess board

The number of possible combination for the rock to laid out in 8x8 (64 slots) chess board

$\frac{64 * 63 * 62 * 61 * 60 * 59 * 58 * 57}{8!} = \frac{1.78\times10^{14}}{40320} = 4426165368$ possible combination

So the probability is pretty thin

$P = 2 / 4426165368 = 4.51\times10^{-10}$
