Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints

The formula, n P = 140, gives an approximate relationship between n and P where,

n = number of steps per minute
P = pace length in meters
Bernard knows his pace length is 0.80 meters
The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

We need to calculate Bernard’s walking speed in meters per minute and in kilometers per hour

∵ n = number of steps per minute

∴ n unit is number / minute

∵ P = pace length in meters

∴ P unit is meter

- That means n P unit is meters/minute

∴ n P represents the speed in meters per second

∵ The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

∵ His pace length is 0.80 meters

∵ n P = 140

∴ n(0.8) = 140

- Divide both sides by 0.8

∴ n = 175

- That means he moves 175 steps per minute

∵ The distance he walks in minute = 175 × 0.8 = 140 meters/minute

∴ His speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

∵ 1 km = 1000 m

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

- Divide the meters by 1000 and the minute by 60 to change

from meters per minute to kilometers per hour

∴ His walking speed = $\frac{140}{1000}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{60}$

- Change ÷ to × and reciprocal the fraction after the division sign

∴ His walking speed = $\frac{140}{1000}$ × $\frac{60}{1}$ = 8.4 km/h

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

a person on a tour has rupees 12000 for his daily expenses. In order to extend his journey for 2 more days he had to cut down hi

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Duration of the tour he planned first is 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a person has 12000 rupees for his daily expenses.

Let x be the number of days.

Then daily expenses per day $=\frac{12000}{x}$

Given that number of day is increased by 2 more days, that is number of days is x+2.

New daily expense per day $\frac{12000}{x+2}$

Given that this new daily expenses are 300 less than original.

That is $\frac{12000}{x}-\frac{12000}{x+2}=300$

$\frac{12000(x+2)-12000x}{x(x+2)}=300$

$\frac{24000}{x(x+2)}=300$

$x(x+2)=\frac{24000}{300}$

$x^{2}+2x-80=0$

(x-8)(x+10)=0

x=8 or -10.

Since number of days cannot be negative, duration of the tour planned=8.

The diagram shows a cube of side length 4 inches. A is a vertex of the cube, while B and C are located on opposite edges of the

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

we will get an isosceles triangle as a result.

Step-by-step explanation:

when the point A is joined to B and C we will get the side AB and AC of equal length.

length of AB and AC could be calculated easily with the help of pythagorean theorem where the base and perpendicular are of length 4in and 1in .

when we will cut a plane including the the points A,B and C we will get a triangle whose sides AB and AC are equal but BC would be of distinct length.

Hence, the resultant figure will be an isosceles triangle.

G find the area of the surface over the given region. use a computer algebra system to verify your results. the sphere r(u,v) =

Svetach [21]

Presumably you should be doing this using calculus methods, namely computing the surface integral along $\mathbf r(u,v)$ .

But since $\mathbf r(u,v)$ describes a sphere, we can simply recall that the surface area of a sphere of radius $a$ is $4\pi a^2$ .

In calculus terms, we would first find an expression for the surface element, which is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\iint_S\left\|\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

$\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}=a\cos u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a\cos u\sin v\,\mathbf j-a\sin u\,\mathbf k$
$\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=-a\sin u\sin v\,\mathbf i+a\sin u\cos v\,\mathbf j$
$\implies\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=a^2\sin^2u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a^2\sin^2u\sin v\,\mathbf j+a^2\sin u\cos u\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\left\|\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|=a^2\sin u$

So the area of the surface is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}a^2\sin u\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=2\pi a^2\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\sin u$
$=-2\pi a^2(\cos\pi-\cos 0)$
$=-2\pi a^2(-1-1)$
$=4\pi a^2$

as expected.
