a boat takes 2 hours to travel 15 miles upriver against the current. if the rate of the boat in still water is 12 miles per hour. what is the rate of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7 or 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The rate of current or velocity of current upriver is 4.5 miles per hour.

What is velocity?

Velocity is the rate of distance covered per time. Velocity could be average or instantaneous.

For example, if a car drives 50 meters for 10 seconds and it is constant then 50/10 = 5 meters/second will be the velocity.

Let's suppose the velocity or speed of the boat (Velocity in still water ) = V miles/hour

Velocity of current = x miles/hour

Given that,

The boat takes 2 hours to travel 15 miles upriver against the current.

15 miles  in 2 hour

⇒ 7.5 miles/hour

Since it is traveling against the current velocity so

V  - x = 7.5

And V = 12 miles/hour

By substitution,

12 - x = 7.5

x = 12 - 7.5

x = 4.5 miles/hour

Hence "The rate of current or velocity of current upriver is 4.5 miles per hour".

the jet stream is a wind current that flows across the US from west to east. Flying with the jet stream, an airplane flew 2700 miles in 4.5 hours. Against the same wind, the return trip took 6 hours. Find the speed of the plane in stil air and the speed of the jet stream.

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the jet stream are 525 miles per hour and 75 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Mechanical Physics, we know that absolute velocity of the airplane ([tex]v_{A}[/tex]) is equal to sum of the absolute velocity of the jet steam [tex](v_{J})[/tex] and the relative velocity of the airplane with respect to jet stream (velocity of the airplane in still air) ([tex]v_{A/J}[/tex]). Al velocities are measured in miles per hour. Let suppose that both jet stream and airplanes travels at constant velocity. Now, we construct the following system of linear equations:

Flight with the jet stream

[tex]v_{J}+v_{A/J} = \frac{2700\,mi}{4.5\,h}[/tex]

[tex]v_{J}+v_{A/J} = 600\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex] (1)

Flight against the jet stream

[tex]v_{J} -v_{A/J} = -\frac{2700\,mi}{6\,h}[/tex]

[tex]v_{J}-v_{A/J} = -450\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex] (2)

The solution of this system of linear equations is:

[tex]v_{J} = 75\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{A/J} = 525\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

The speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the jet stream are 525 miles per hour and 75 miles per hour.

Bea is buying pens and pencils. Pens cost $2 and pencils cost $1. She plans on spending no more than $10 and wants to buy at least 10 items. Which two inequalities model this situation?

Answers

Well each pen costs $2 and each pencil costs $1.

One of the equations would be

2p + 1c ≤ 10

She doesn’t want to spend more than 10 dollars but wants to get 10 items. So she’ll be spending $10. For the pencils.

1c ≤ 10 c = 10

1(10) ≤ 10

10 ≤ 10

Now for the pens

2p ≤ 10

2. 2

P = 5

5 ≤ 10

Anymore will go over her budget. She wants to buy at least 10 items not 10 exactly so she can buy 5 pens or 10 pencils.

Given the following formula, solve for v.
S=1/2a2v+c

Answers

Answer:

Since there is no initial condition, the exact value of v cannot be determined, but you can set the equation up for a general evaluation of the situation.

s = 1/2a^2*v+c

First you need to subtract c from both sides to get

s-c = 1/2a^2*v

then you can just divide both sides by 1/2a^2 to get v

(2(s-c))/a^2=v

when dividing a fraction, such as 1/2, make sure to keep in mind that you're really multiplying the flipped version, so that dividing by 1/2 means multiplying by 2.

⇒ 25° + 27° + ∠B= 180°

⇒ 52° + ∠B= 180°

Subtract both sides by 172°

⇒ 52° – 52° + ∠B = 180° – 52°

Therefore, ∠B = 128°

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 486. find all three integers​

Answers

160 and 162 and 164

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the three even integers, use the equation

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 486

Then solve:

Add the common terms (the xs and numbers)

3x + 6 = 486

Subtract the 6 from both sides

3x = 480

Then divide

x = 160

So 160 + (160 + 2) + (160 + 4) = 486

160 + 162 + 164 = 486

So your three consecutive even integers are

a sequence of payment made at equal time period is a/an'????​

Answers

Answer:

Annuity.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of payment made at equal time period is called an annuity.

Basically, annuity can be calculated using the compound interest formula. It is given by the mathematical expression;

[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where;

A is the future value.

P is the principal or starting amount.

r is annual interest rate.

n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.

t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Additionally, the time period between each payment is called payment period.

The term of an annuity refers to the time from the beginning of the first payment made by an individual to the end of the last payment period.

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1}{50}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the event that you win with A and the even that your friend win with B.

So, we have:

[tex]P(A) = \frac{1}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = \frac{1}{100}[/tex]

Required

Calculate P(A or B)

Both events are mutually exclusive.

So:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B)[/tex]

Substitute values for P(A) and P(B)

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1}{100} + \frac{1}{100}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1+1}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{2}{100}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1}{50}[/tex]
