In the aftermath of a car accident, it is concluded that one driver slowed to a halt in 16 seconds while skidding 1075 feet. If the speed limit was 45 miles per hour, can it be proved that the driver had been speeding? (Hint: 45 miles per hour is equal to 66 feet per second.) We can guarantee that at some time from when the driver first pressed on the brake to when the car came to a complete stop the car was traveling ___________ mph. Therefore we __________ (can/can not) conclude that the driver was speeding from the information given.

A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 30 mi along the highway. When the car reached the location of the second officer 22 min later, it was clocked going 60 mi/hr. The driver of the car was given a ticket for exceeding the 60 mi/hr speed limit. Why can the officer conclude that the driver exceeded the speed limit? Select the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.) A. The officer can conclude the driver exceeded the speed limit because, by the Extreme Value Theorem, at some time c, the car was travelling at a speed of miles per hour. B.

3. Elizabeth Loftus conducted research on eyewitness testimony. Participants watched a short video of a car crash and were then asked how fast the car was going when it hit another vehicle. The question used different words when referring to "hit". 7 participants heard the word “bumped", 7 participants the word "crashed" and another 7 participants the word "smashed". The "bumped" group report an average speed of 25.145mph, the "crashed" group an average speed of 29.859mph and the "smashed" group a speed of 38.574mph. a. What test was done? b.

A company that manufactures golf balls produces a new type of ball that is supposed to travel significantly farther than the company's previous golf ball. To determine this, 40 new-style golf balls and 40 original-style golf balls are randomly selected from the company's production line on a specific day. The balls are then placed in a bag and shaken. A golf pro then selects a ball and hits it using a driver. The distance the ball travels is then measured. Which of the following is a benefit of having replication in the experiment? Repeating the experiment will allow the company to compare the distances traveled by the new type of golf ball from both experiments. O Having a large number of each type of golf ball will allow for a good comparison of the differences in distances traveled for the two types of balls. The bag is shaken again, and the golf pro selects another ball and hits it with the same driver. He O Having a large number of each type of golf ball will not allow for a good…

A tortoise challenged a hare to a 100-meter race on a track. The tortoise negotiated a 50-meter head start with the hare. When the race started the hare was running at a constant speed of 2.8 meters per second and the tortoise was crawling at a speed of 0.5 meters per second. (They both maintained these speeds for the entire race.) Our goal is to determine who won the race. Read the above problem statement again, then explain in writing on a sheet of paper how you will determine who won the race. Construct a drawing to represent the 100-meter length of the track. Then place the tortoise and hare's starting points on the track. Define the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. Write an expression to represent the Tortoise's distance from the starting line in terms of t. Represent the Hare's distance from the starting line in terms of t. Write a formula to represent the distance, d (in meters), that the tortoise is ahead of the hare in…
