Answer:
L = s^2/(30.25Cd)
Step-by-step explanation:
In accident investigation, the speed of a vehicle can be estimated using a polynomial function that relates speed (s) to the length of skid marks (L). The drag coefficient Cd will depend on the condition of the road surface and tires, but might be expected to be between 0.7 and 0.8.
If the skid marks end in a collision, the length of the marks that might have been made can be estimated using this formula, then that length added to the actual length of marks to estimate the original speed. The speed at the point of collision can be estimated by the damage caused, and/or the movement created.
In the above formula, length is in feet, and speed is in miles per hour.
Answer:
4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A = b x h
A = 36
b = 9
36 = 9 x h
4 = h
height = 4 inches
2x-4y=-16
ax+4y=6 +
--------------------
2x+ax=-10; for x=-2,
2(-2)+a(-2)=-10
-2a=-10+4
a=-6/-2
a=3
Answer:
15 shirts.
Step-by-step explanation:
A 20% discount means you still pay 80% of the price.
x represents the number of shirts that can be bought.
(20 x (1-0.2) )x = 240 or (20 x .8)x = 240
16 x = 240
x = 240/16 = 15
