The speed of an object is its distance traveled per unit time

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip <u>55.5</u>

<u />

The reason the average speed value is correct is given as follows:

The known parameters;

The length of the first part of the trip, L = 218 mile

Duration of the time the sales person travels, t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute

Average speed of travel, v₁ = 64 mph

The time at which the salesperson arrive at the destination, t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes

Required:

To find the average speed required for the remainder of the trip

Solution:

Distance traveled = Speed × Time

The distance traveled on the first part of the trip, <em>d₁ = v₁ × t₁</em>

(t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute = 2.25 hours)

∴ d = 64 mph × 2.25 hours = 144 miles

The distance of the remainder part of the trip, d₂ = L - d₁

d₂ = 218 mile - 144 mile = 74 mile

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂, is given as follows;

v_2 = \dfrac{d_2}{t_2}

t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes = 1\frac{1}{3}  \ hour = \frac{4}{3}  \, hour

Therefore;

v_2 = \dfrac{74 \ mile}{1\frac{1}{3} \ hour} = 55.5 \ mph

With the units left out, we have;

<u>The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂ = 55.5</u>

The maximum flow of water in a pipe is modeled by the formula Q=Av, where A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe and V is the
Ira Lisetskai [31]
For this case we have the following equation:
 Q = Av
 Where the area is given by:
 A = pi * r ^ 2
 A = pi * (d / 2) ^ 2
 A = (pi / 4) * d ^ 2
 Substituting we have:
 Q = ((pi / 4) * d ^ 2) v
 From here, we clear the diameter:
 d = root ((4 / pi) * (Q / v))
 Substituting values we have:
 d = root ((4 / pi) * (50/600))
 d = 0.36 feet
 Answer:
 
The diameter of a pipe that allows a maximum flow of 50ft ^ 3 / min of water flowing at a velocity of 600ft / min is:
 
d = 0.36 feet

4. Make up a system of equations with infinite<br> solutions
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

\left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {2x+2y=2}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as the two equations represent the same straight line on the coordinate plane (they overlap), there will be infinite many intersections and infinite number of solutions.

7,8,9,7,2,5,3,2, 2<br><br> Mean__<br> Median__<br> Mode__<br> Range__
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Mean: 5

Median: 5

Mode: 2

Range: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the mean by adding all the numbers together to get 45. Then we divide the 45 by the amount of numbers in the set, for this one it is 9. 45 divided by 9 equals 5.

To find the median we put the numbers in the set in order from least to greatest. Next, we find the middle number. median=5

To find the mode we find the number repeated the most. In this set the number that repeats the most is 2.

Range is found by subtracting the largest number and the smallest number. 9-2=7
