Acar entering the freeway accelerates from 10.2 m/s with a constant acceleration of 4.4 m/s 2 . what is the car's final velocity when it merges onto the highway and reaches its cruising speed 4.2 seconds later?

Givens

a = 4.4 m/s^2 This is an acceleration and is positive.

vi = 10.2 m/s

t = 4.2 seconds

vf = The cruising speed in this case is vf.

Formula

a = (vf - vi)/t Notice the 3 givens and what you seek determine the formula

Solve

4.4 m/s^2 = (vf - 10.2)/4.2 Multiply both sides by 4.2

4.4 * 4.2 = vf - 10.2

18.48 = vf - 10.2 Add 10.2 to both sides

18.48 + 10.2 = vf 8.28 is the second best answer.

28.68 = vf This is your cruising speed.

C <<<< Answer

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
