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

Which set of numbers is arranged in order from least to greatest?
charle [14.2K]
The answer is:  [C]:  -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔ .
________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
<span>
Note that in this correct Answer choice "C" given, we have the following arrangement of numbers:
_____________________________________________________
   </span>→ -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔ ; 
______________________________________
We are asked to find the "Answer choice" (or, perhaps, "Answer choices?") given that show a set of numbers arranged in order from "least to greatest"; that is, starting with a value that is the smallest number in the arrangement, and sequentially progressing, in order from least to greatest, with the largest (greatest) number in the arrangement appearing as the last number in the arrangement.
______________________
Note the EACH of the 4 (four) answer choices given consists of an arrangement with ONLY one negative number, "- 0.7".  Only TWO of the answer choices—Choices "B" and "C"—have an arrangement beginning with the number, "-0.7 ";  So we can "rule out" the "Answer choices: [A] and [D]".
________________________
Let us examine: Answer choice: [B]: <span>-0.7, 0.35, ⅕, ⅔ ; 
</span>_________________________
Note: The fraction, "⅕" = "2/10"; or, write as: 0.2 .
________________________________________
          The fraction, "⅔" = 0.6666667 (that is 0.6666... repeating; so we often               see a "final decimal point" rounded to "7" at some point.
___________________________________________
Through experience, one will be able to automatically look at these 2 (two) fractions and immediately know their "decimal equivalents".
____________________________________________
Otherwise, one can determine the "decimal form" of these values on a calculator by division:
_________________________
→ ⅕ = 1/5 = 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2
_________________________
→ ⅔ = 2/3 = 2 ÷ 3 = 0.6666666666666667
___________________________________
For Answer choice: [B], we have:
______________________________
→   -0.7, 0.35, ⅕, ⅔ ; 
_________________________
→ So, we can "rewrite" the arrangement of "Answer choice [B]" as:
___________________________________________
    →  -0.7, 0.35, 0.2, 0.666666667 ;
________________________________
    → And we can see that "Answer choice: [B]" is INCORRECT; because
"0.2" (that is, "⅕"), is LESS THAN "0.35".  So, "0.35" should not come BEFORE "⅕" in the arrangement that applies correctly to the problem.
_______________________________________
Let us examine: Answer choice: [C]:  -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, 0.666666667 .
____________________________________________
→ Remember from our previous— and aforementioned—examination of "Answer Choice: [B]" ; that:
____________________________ 
→ ⅕ = 0.2 ;   and:
→ ⅔ = 0.666666667
_______________________
So, given:
____________
→ Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔ ; 
______________________
→ We can "rewrite" this given "arrangement", substituting our known "decimal values for the fractions:
______________________________
→ Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, 0.2, 0.35, 0.666666667 ;
_________________________________________
→ As mentioned above, this sequence starts with "-0.7", which is the ONLY negative number in the sequence; as such, the next positive number is correct.  Nonetheless, "0.2" (or, "(⅕") is the next number in the sequence, and is greater than "-0.7". The next number is "0.35. "0.35" is greater than "⅕" (or, "0.2"). Then next number is "(⅔)" (or, "0.666666667").
   "(⅔)"; (or, "0.666666667") is greater than 0.35.
____________________________
This set of numbers: "-0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔" ; is arranged in order from least to greatest; which is "Answer choice: [C]: -0.7, ⅕, 0.35, ⅔" ; the correct answer.

find the permimter of the quadrilateral if x=2 the perimiter is in inches the perimiters are (4x2+8x) (31 ) (7x+30) (3x2-5x+20)
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

115

Step-by-step explanation:

4*2+8(2) = 24

31

7(2)+30 = 44

3*2-5(2)+20 = 6-10+20 = -4+20 = 16

24+31+44+16

PLEASE HELP ITS DUE NOW!!!!!!<br> WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

(- 4, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 10 → (1)

y = 4x + 6 → (2)

Substitute y = 5x + 10 into (2)

5x + 10 = 4x + 6 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x + 10 = 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

x = - 4

Substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

y = 5(- 5) + 10 = - 20 + 10 = - 10

solution is (- 4, - 10 )
