A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40  mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: 1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at \frac{2}{7}, this means that \frac{5}{7} of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if \frac{5}{7} of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it (speed=\frac{distance}{time}), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}

time= 8 h

<u><em> The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.</em></u>

A rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s. What time interval elapses between the rock’s being thrown an
inna [77]

Answer:

It will take 4 sec rock to comes its original point

Explanation:

It is given that the rock comes to its original point

So displacement S = 0 m

Initial velocity u = 19.6 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

According to second equation of motion h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

0=19.6\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2

19.6=4.9t

t = 4 sec

You are piloting a small airplane in which you want to reach a destination that is 750 km due north of your starting location. O
alexira [117]

Answer:

v_wind = 101.46 km / h   ,  θ = 61.8

Explanation:

This is a velocity composition exercise.

Let's do the problem in parts. Let's start by knowing the speed of the plane without air.

           v = d / t

           v = 750 / 3.14

           v = 238.85 km / h

This is the speed of the plane relative to the Earth and it does not change.

In the second part, when there is wind, the travel time is greater than when there is no wind, therefore the wind delays the plane. To be more general, suppose that the wind has two components vₓ and v_{y}

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the plane's speed

          cos θ = v_N / v

          sin θ  = v_W / v

          v_N = v cos θ

          v_W = v sin θ

           

let's calculate

          V _N = 238.85 cos 22 = 221.46 km / h

           v_W = -238.85 sin 22 = -89.47

the negative sign is because the plane is going west and the positive sign is the east direction.

As it indicates that the destination of the avine is towards the north, the x component of the wind must be

              vₓ - v_W = 0

              vₓ = v-w

              vₓ = 89.47 km / h

in the direction to the East.

Now let's analyze the component of the wind in the Nort-South direction,

Indicate the travel time, let's calculate the speed that the component must have the speed of the plane

             v_total = d / t

             v_total = 750 / 4.32

             v_total = 173.61 km / h

This is the final speed of the plane, which can be written

              v_total = v_n - vy

               vy = v_n - v_total

               vy = 221.46 - 173.61

               vy = 47.85 km

this component is directed towards the south

Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem, to find the magnitude

             v_wind² = vₓ² + vy²

             v_wind = √ (89.47² + 47.85²)

             v_wind = 101.46 km / h

the address will then be found using trigonometry

             θ = Vy / vx

             θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

             θ = tan⁻¹1 (47.85 / 89.47)

             θ = 28.14

Therefore, the magnitude of the wind speed is 101.5 km / h and its direction is 28º south of the East, to give this value

                  90- θtea = 90- 28.2

                  θ = 61.8

East of South
