Police Chase: A speeder traveling 40 miles per hour (in a 25 mph zone) passes a stopped police car which immediately takes off after the speeder. If the police car speeds up steadily to 55 miles/hour in 10 seconds and then travels at a steady 55 miles/hour, how long and how far before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 18.34 s b. 327.92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How long before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

The acceleration of the car a in 10 s from 0 to 55 mi/h is a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, v = final velocity = 55 mi/h = 55 × 1609 m/3600 s = 24.58 m/s and t = time = 10 s.

So, a =  (v - u)/t =  (24.58 m/s - 0 m/s)/10 s = 24.58 m/s ÷ 10 s = 2.458 m/s².

The distance moved by the police car in 10 s is gotten from

s = ut + 1/2at² where u = initial velocity of police car = 0 m/s, a = acceleration = 2.458 m/s² and t = time = 10 s.

s = 0 m/s × 10 s + 1/2 × 2.458 m/s² (10)²

s = 0 m + 1/2 × 2.458 m/s² × 100 s²

s = 122.9 m

The distance moved when the police car is driving at 55 mi/h is s' = 24.58 t where t = driving time after attaining 55 mi/h

The total distance moved by the police car is thus S = s + s' = 122.9 + 24.58t

The total distance moved by the speeder is S' = 40t' mi = (40 × 1609 m/3600 s)t' =  17.88t' m where t' = time taken for police to catch up with speeder.

Since both distances are the same,

S' = S

17.88t' = 122.9 + 24.58t

Also, the time  taken for the police car to catch up with the speeder, t' = time taken for car to accelerate to 55 mi/h + rest of time taken for police car to catch up with speed, t

t' = 10 + t

So, substituting t' into the equation, we have

17.88t' = 122.9 + 24.58t

17.88(10 + t) = 122.9 + 24.58t

178.8 + 17.88t = 122.9 + 24.58t

17.88t - 24.58t = 122.9 - 178.8

-6.7t = -55.9

t = -55.9/-6.7

t = 8.34 s

So, t' = 10 + t

t' = 10 + 8.34

t' = 18.34 s

So, it will take 18.34 s before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

b. how far before the police car catches the speeder who continued traveling at 40 miles/hour

Since the distance moved by the police car also equals the distance moved by the speeder, how far the police car will move before he catches the speeder is given by S' = 17.88t' = 17.88 × 18.34 s = 327.92 m

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is
10.7 ft and the height of the pyramid is 9.8 ft. Round your answer to the nearest
tenth of a cubic foot.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  23.4 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of the perimeter of the square base, the volume of a pyramid can be found using the formula ...

  V = (1/48)P²h . . . . . where P is the base perimeter and h is the height

  V = (1/48)(10.7 ft)²(9.8 ft) ≈ 23.4 ft³

_____

Additional comment

The relevant formulas usually used are ...

  P = 4s . . . . perimeter of a square with side length s

  A = s² . . . . area of a square with side length s

  V = (1/3)Bh . . . . . volume of a pyramid with base area B and height h

Solving the perimeter equation for s, and using that result in the other formulas, we get ...

  s = P/4

  B = (P/4)² = P²/16

  V = 1/3(P²/16)h = (1/48)P²h . . . . the formula used above

Using this result saves the effort of computing the intermediate values of side length and base area.

Barnaby decided to count the number of ducks and geese flying south for the winter. On the first day he counted 175 ducks and 63 geese. By the end of migration, Barnaby had counted 4,725 geese. If the ratio of ducks to geese remained the same (175 to 63), how many ducks did he count?

Answers

Answer:

13,125 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of ducks:geese on the first day was:

175:63

On the last day (end of migration), he counted 4,725 geese.

To find the number of ducks using the same ratio, we are first going to divide 4,725 by 63 to find what number all the ducks and geese multiplied by:

4,725/63 = 75

The geese multiplied by 75. This means the ducks also multiplied by 75:

175*75 = 13,125

Barnaby counted 13,125 ducks.

Fill in the given values for a, r, and use n = 1 to 4.

  T1 = 3·2^(1-1) = 3

Question 4 of 10, Step 1 of 1 1/out of 10 Correct Certify Completion Icon Tries remaining:0 The Magazine Mass Marketing Company has received 16 entries in its latest sweepstakes. They know that the probability of receiving a magazine subscription order with an entry form is 0.5. What is the probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order

Answers

Answer:

0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each entry form, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it includes an order, or it does not. The probability of an entry including an order is independent of any other entry, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The Magazine Mass Marketing Company has received 16 entries in its latest sweepstakes.

This means that [tex]n = 16[/tex]

They know that the probability of receiving a magazine subscription order with an entry form is 0.5.

This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

What is the probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order?

At most 3 including an order, which is:

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{16} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.0002[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{14} = 0.0018[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{13} = 0.0085[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0.0002 + 0.0018 + 0.0085 = 0.0105[/tex]

0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

Answer:

It will take 15 days for the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a crew clears brush from 1/3 acre of land in 2 days, to determine how long will it take the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres, the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.333

1/2 = 0.5

0.333 = 2

2.5 = X

2.5 x 2 / 0.333 = X

15 = X

Therefore, it will take 15 days for the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/2 acres.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system:

y + 4 = x 10x + 2y = 16

Substitute x into the second equation:

10(y + 4) + 2y = 1610y + 40 + 2y = 1612y = -24y = -2

Find x:

x = -2 + 4x = 2

Answer:

x = 2 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system :-

y + 4 = x

10x + 2y = 16

Solve the system by substitution:-

Let,

y + 4 = x ...(1)

10x + 2y = 16 ...(2)

Solve for y;

Substitute y + 4 as x in the eq.(2)

10( y + 4 ) + 2y = 16

Distribute 10.

10y + 40 + 2y = 16

Combine like terms.

12y + 40 = 16

Move constant to the right-hand side and change their sign.

12y = 16 - 40

Subtract 16 from -40.

12y = -24

Divide both side by 12.

12y / 12 = -24/12

Hence, y = -2

Solve for x.

Substitute the value of y in eq.(1)

-2 + 4 = x

Add -2 and 4.

Hence, 2 = x

c. 5.5 years, 0.51 years
d. 1.33 years, 0.51 years

Answers

Answer:

c. 5.5 years, 0.51 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Mean of 5.5 years and a standard deviation of 2.1 years.

This means that, for the population, [tex]\mu = 5.5, \sigma = 2.1[/tex]

Random samples of size 17.

This means that [tex]n = 17[/tex]

Use the Central Limit Theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the indicated sampling distribution.

The mean is the same as the mean for the population, that is, 5.5 years.

The standard deviation is:

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{2.1}{\sqrt{17}} = 0.51[/tex]

This means that the correct answer is given by option c.
