Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph. if they drive along the same route, how long will it take Mitchell to catch Peter?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...

  t = d/s

  t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h

to catch Peter.

Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.

__

Alternate Solution

Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:

  3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter

_____

You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.

A rocket leaves the surface of Earth at time t=0 and travels straight up from the surface. The height, in feet, of the rocket above the surface of Earth is given by y(t), where t is measured in seconds for 0≤t≤600. Values of y(t) for selected values of t are given in the table above. Of the following values of t, at which value would the speed of the rocket most likely be greatest based on the data in the table?

(1) t=100

(2) t=200

(3)t=300

(4) t=400

Answers

Answer:

Remember that:

Speed = distance/time.

Then we can calculate the average speed in any segment,

Let's make a model where the average speed at t = t0 can be calculated as:

AS(t0) = (y(b) - y(a))/(b - a)

Where b is the next value of t0, and a is the previous value of t0. This is because t0 is the middle point in this segment.

Then:

if t0 = 100s

AS(100s) = (400ft - 0ft)/(200s - 0s) =   2ft/s

if t0 = 200s

AS(200s) = (1360ft - 50ft)/(300s - 100s) = 6.55 ft/s

if t0 = 300s

AS(300s) = (3200ft - 400ft)/(400s - 200s) =  14ft/s

if t0 = 400s

AS(400s) = (6250s - 1360s)/(500s - 300s) = 24.45 ft/s

So for the given options, t = 400s is the one where the velocity seems to be the biggest.

And this has a lot of sense, because while the distance between the values of time is constant (is always 100 seconds) we can see that the difference between consecutive values of y(t) is increasing.

Then we can conclude that the rocket is accelerating upwards, then as larger is the value of t, bigger will be the average velocity at that point.

Speed is simply the rate of change of distance over time.

The greatest speed is at [tex]t = 400[/tex]

To calculate the time of the greatest speed, we simply calculate the slope between each interval.

The slope (m) of a line is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{t_2 - t_1}[/tex]

When [tex]t = 100[/tex]

[tex](t_1,y_1) = (0,0)[/tex]

[tex](t_2,y_2) = (200,400)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{400-0}{200 -0}[/tex]

[tex]m= \frac{400}{200}[/tex]

[tex]m = 2[/tex]

When [tex]t = 200[/tex]

[tex](t_1,y_1) = (100,50)[/tex]

[tex](t_2,y_2) = (300,1360)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{1360-50}{300 -100}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1310}{200}[/tex]

[tex]m = 6.55[/tex]

When [tex]t = 300[/tex]

[tex](t_1,y_1) = (200,400)[/tex]

[tex](t_2,y_2) = (400,3200)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{3200-400}{400 -200}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2800}{200}[/tex]

[tex]m = 14[/tex]

When [tex]t = 400[/tex]

[tex](t_1,y_1) = (300,1360)[/tex]

[tex](t_2,y_2) = (500,6250)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{6250-1360}{500-300}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4890}{200}[/tex]

[tex]m = 24.45[/tex]

From the above computation, the greatest speed (i.e. slope) is

[tex]m = 24.45[/tex]

The corresponding time at [tex]m = 24.45[/tex] is [tex]t = 400[/tex]

Hence, the greatest speed is at [tex]t = 400[/tex]

What is a complex number?

A complex number is the sum of a real number and an imaginary number.

The idea of a complex number has come by solving a quadratic equation that has root as negative under root.

If we solve x² + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = √(-1) which is called as iota(i).

The value of iota(i) is given as i = √(-1).

By the law of indices,

i¹² = (i²)⁶

⇒ (-1)⁶

Since the even exponents of a negative number give positive output thus  (-1)⁶ = 1.

Thus, i¹² = 1

Hence "The value of the given imaginary number i¹² will be 1".

There are 12 red pens, 20 blue pens and 5 black pens in a bag. What is the probability that you will pick a black pen? Round

Answers

Answer:

The probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the percentage probability that a black pen will be obtained from the bag, the following calculation must be performed:

12 + 20 + 5 = 37

37 = 100%

5 = X

(5 x 100) / 37 = X

500/37 = X

13.5 = X

Thus, it is determined that the totality of pens is 100%, and through a cross multiplication the percentage of the 5 black pens with respect to the total of pens is obtained.

Therefore, the probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.

6/31. There are 6 black pens left and the red pen was removed, so the original sample size of 32 is reduced to 31.

Answer:

The answer would be E.

When you solve 25 x 1/5, you get 5.

When you solve 25 ÷ 5, you get 5.

The equivalent expression is 25 ÷ 5.

Option E is the correct answer.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example.

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

25 x 1/5

= 25 x 1/5

= 5 x 5 x 1/5

= 5

Now,

1/25 x 5

= 1/5

1/25 x 1/5

= 1/125

1/25 ÷ 1/5

= 1/25 x 5

= 1/5

5 ÷ 25

= 5/25

= 1/5

25 ÷ 5

= 5

We see that,

25 x 1/5 and 25 ÷ 5 have the same value.

Thus,

The equivalent expression is 25 ÷ 5.
