Josh and Karen live 20 miles apart and at exactly 2 pm, both decide to ride their bikes towards each other's houses so that they can meet on the path somewhere in between. Josh rides at an average speed of 15 miles per hour and Karen rides at an average speed of 10 miles per hour. If Josh takes a 10 minute break after he starts to look at some birds while Karen rides the whole time, how many miles from Karen's house will they meet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

They will meet at a distance 9 miles from Karen's house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance covered by Josh be [tex]S_{1}[/tex] and the distance covered by Karen be [tex]S_{2}[/tex]

The distance between Josh and Karen's houses is 20 miles. That is, the total distance both of them will cover is 20 miles.

Hence, [tex]S_{1} + S_{2} = 20 miles[/tex]

From the question, if Josh takes a 10 minute break after he starts while Karen rides the whole time, this means

If Karen rides for a total of [tex]t[/tex] mins, then Josh would spend [tex]t-10[/tex] mins for the journey

Also, Josh rides at an average speed of 15 miles per hour

and Karen rides at an average speed of 10 miles per hour

Now, for Josh

Distance = [tex]S_{1}[/tex]

Speed = 15 mile/hour (Covert to mile/minute); (NOTE: 1 hour = 60 mins)

Speed= 0.25 mile/min

Time spent = [tex]t - 10[/tex] mins

From

[tex]Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 0.25 mile/min × (t-10) min

[tex]S_{1}[/tex] = 0.25(t-10) mile

[tex]S_{1}[/tex] = 0.25t - 2.5

t = ([tex]S_{1}[/tex] + 2.5) / 0.25 ....... (1)

For Karen,

Distance = [tex]S_{2}[/tex]

Speed = 10 mile/hour (Covert to mile/minute);

Speed= [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] mile/min

Time spent = t

[tex]Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Distance = Speed × Time

Then, [tex]S_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] mile/min × t min

[tex]S_{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{6}t[/tex] mile

t = 6[tex]S_{2}[/tex] ......... (2)

Equating equations (1) and (2), we get

([tex]S_{1}[/tex] + 2.5) / 0.25 = 6[tex]S_{2}[/tex]

Then,

([tex]S_{1}[/tex] + 2.5) = 1.5[tex]S_{2}[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]S_{1} + S_{2} = 20 miles[/tex]

Then, [tex]S_{1} = 20 - S_{2}[/tex]

∴[tex]20 - S_{2}[/tex] + 2.5 = 1.5[tex]S_{2}[/tex]

2.5[tex]S_{2}[/tex] = 22.5

[tex]S_{2}[/tex] = 22.5 / 2.5

[tex]S_{2}[/tex] = 9 miles

This means Karen covers a total distance of 9 miles

Hence, they will meet at a distance 9 miles from Karen's house.

What is the horizontal distance between the two points (-7,-4) and (12,-4)? Remember that distance is always positive! Hint: The horizontal distance is represented by the 1st number in each coordinate. What is the difference between -7 and 12? ​

Answers

Answer: 19

==================================================

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Plot -7 and 12 on the number line. Draw in the tickmarks between them. You should find the distance from -7 to 12 is 19 units since you need to go 19 spaces from either -7 to 12, or vice versa.

You can use subtraction to get

-7-12 = -19

or

12-(-7) = 12+7 = 19

The final result is made positive since negative distance does not make sense.

So you'd have |-7-12| = |-19| = 19 or |12-(-7)| = |19| = 19.

All of this only works because the two y coordinates are the same, which makes a horizontal line through the two given points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle h = vt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

And we want to solve for g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Proceed with algebra:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} h & = vt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\ \\ h - vt & = \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\ \\ gt^2& = 2(h-vt) \\ \\ g &= \frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion:

[tex]\displaystyle g = \frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}[/tex]

Answer:

g = [tex]\frac{2(h - vt)}{t^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = vt + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gt² ( subtract vt from both sides )

h - vt = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gt² ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

2(h - vt) = gt² ( divide both sides by t² )

[tex]\frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}[/tex] = g

box contains five while balls, four red balls and three blue balls. Suppose that three balls are randomly selected. a. What is the probability that exactly two of the balls are white ? b. What is the probability that one ball of each color is selected ? c. What is the probability that all three of the selected balls have the same color ?

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of white balls = 5

Number of red balls = 4

Number if blue balls = 3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes (Total number of balls) = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12

a. What is the probability that exactly two of the balls are white?

(White, white, not white) or (not white, white, white) or (white, not white, white)

Assume balls were picked without replacement ;

P(white, white, not white) = (5/12 × 4/11 × 7/10) = 0.1060606

P(not white, white, white) = (7/12 × 5/11 × 4/10) = 0.1060606

P(white, not white, white) = (5/12 × 7/11 × 4/10) = 0.1060606

P(exactly 2 white balls) = 3×(0.1060606) = 0.3181818

b. What is the probability that one ball of each color is selected ?

(White, red, blue) or (red, white, blue) or (red, blue, white) or (blue, red, white), (white, blue, red), (blue, white, red)

P(white, red, blue) = (5/12 * 4/11 * 3/10) = 0.0454545

(0.0454545 × 3) = 0.272727

c. What is the probability that all three of the selected balls have the same color ?

P(white, white, white) or P(blue, blue, blue) or P(red, red, red)

P(white, white, white) = (5/12 * 4/11 * 3/10) = 0.0454545

P(blue, blue, blue) = (3/12 * 2/11 * 1/10) = 0.0045454

P(red, red, red) = (4/12 * 3/11 * 2/10) = 0.0181818

(0.0454545 + 0.0045454 + 0.0181818) = 0.0681817
