Answer:
x = 48/7
Step-by-step explanation:
There's two good ways to do this problem.
Option 1:
Translate "x varies directly as y" into the equation y=kx
Then you have to find k. After you "reset" your y=kx equation, fill in k and then solve for x. See image.
Option 2:
Translate "varies directly" into a proportion, which is two fractions equal to each other:
x/y = x/y
Fill in the three numbers given and cross multiply and solve to find the fourth number. See image.
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.
<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>
<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>
<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>
<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>
<em>d = distance ( m )</em>
Let us now tackle the problem !
<u>Given :</u>
v₁ = 30 mph due east
v₂ = 60 mph due south
t = 4 hours
<u>Unknown :</u>
displacement = d = ?
