I need help with Q9 c, I’ve done a and b if it helps, b=325 but I am just stuck on question 9C, I know the answer is 500N (as it

’s in the back of the book) but I just don’t get how to get there. Many thanks in advance.

Step-by-step explanation:

I know you've already done parts a and b, but I'll show the work for that before I do c.

Draw two free body diagrams, one for the car and one for the trailer.  The car pulls the trailer forward with a tension force T, so the trailer pulls backward on the car with an equal and opposite force T.

The car also has a 1200 N forward force from the engine, and a 200 N backwards force from resistance.

The trailer has a backwards resistance force of 100 N.

Sum of forces on the car:

∑F = ma

1200 − 200 − T = 900a

1000 − T = 900a

Sum of forces on the trailer:

∑F = ma

T − 100 = 300a

To solve the system of equations, first add the equations together.

1000 − 100 = 1200a

900 = 1200a

a = 0.75 m/s²

Plug back into either equation to find the tension force:

T = 325 N

Now for part c, draw new free body diagrams for the car and trailer.  This time, the car is pushing back on the trailer to slow it down.  So the trailer is pushing forward on the car with an equal and opposite force.  The magnitude of that tension force is given to be 100 N.

The car also has a backwards 200 N force from resistance, and a backwards brake force F.

The trailer has a backwards 100 N force from resistance.

Sum of forces on the car:

∑F = ma

100 − 200 − F = 900a

-100 − F = 900a

Sum of forces on the trailer:

∑F = ma

-100 − 100 = 300a

-200 = 300a

a = -⅔

Plugging into the first equation:

-100 − F = 900 (-⅔)

-100 − F = -600

F = 500 N

Mei is making fruit punch.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

16.2p (If lemonade is .75p, if not substitute in the equation below)

Step-by-step explanation:

In 4 liters, there would be 3 liters of lemonade and 1 liter in juice.

I am assuming 75p is meant to be .75p

So 4 liters costs: (1 x 1.8) + (3 x .75) = 4.05

We need 16 so: 4.05 x 4 = 16.2

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2

A and B working together can do a work in 6 days. If A takes 5 days less than B to finish the work, in how many days B alone can
svetlana [45]

Answer:

15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of days needed for B to complete the job. Then x-5 is the number of days needed for A to complete the job.

In 1 day,

  • A completes \dfrac{1}{x-5} of all work;
  • B completes \dfrac{1}{x} of all work.

Hence, in 1 day both A and B complete \dfrac{1}{x-5}+\dfrac{1}{x} of all work. A and B working together can do a work in 6 days. Then

6\cdot \left(\dfrac{1}{x-5}+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)=1.

Solve this equation:

\dfrac{6x+6x-30}{x(x-5)}=1,\\ \\12x-30=x^2-5x,\\ \\x^2-17x+30=0,\\ \\D=(-17)^2-4\cdot 30=289-120=169=13^2,\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{17\pm 13}{2}=2,\ 15.

If x=2, then x-5=-3 that is impossible. So, B needs 15 days to complete the work alone.
