While walking between gates at an airport, you notice a child running along a moving walkway. Estimating that the child runs at

a constant speed of 2. 4 m/s relative to the surface of the walkway, you decide to try to determine the speed of the walkway itself. You watch the child run on the entire 18-m walkway in one direction, immediately turn around, and run back to his starting point. The entire trip takes a total elapsed time of 32 s. Given this information, what is the speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal?.

The speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal exists at 1.84 m/s.

<h3>How to estimate the speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal?</h3>

Let x be the speed of the walkway.

(2.8 + x) = speed of child moving in direction of the walkway

(2.8 - x) = speed of child moving against the direction of the walkway

Travel time = distance/speed

Travel time of child moving in direction of walkway = 23/(2.8+x)

Total elapsed time given = 29s

23/(2.8 + x)+ 23 / (2.8-x) = 29

LCD = (2.8 + x)(2.8 - x)

$23(2.8 - x) + 23(2.8 + x) = 29(2.8 + x)(2.8 -x)$

simplifying the equation, we get

$23*2.8-23x+23*2.8+23x=29(2.8^2-x^2)$

$23(2.8+2.8)/29=2.8^2-x^2$

$x^2=(2.8)^2-(23*5.6)/29)=3.4$

$x=\sqrt{3.4}=1.84m/s$

Speed of walkway = 1.84 m/s

The speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal exists at 1.84 m/s.

Could someone answer and explain these please? Thank you!

Answer 1:

It is given that the positive 2 digit number is 'x' with tens digit 't' and units digit 'u'.

So the two digit number x is expressed as,

$x=(10 \times t)+(1 \times u)$

$x=10t+u$

The two digit number 'y' is obtained by reversing the digits of x.

So, $y=(10 \times u)+(1 \times t)$

$y=10u+t$

Now, the value of x-y is expressed as:

$x-y=(10t+u)-(10u+t)$

$x-y=10t+u-10u-t$

$x-y=9t-9u$

$x-y=9(t-u)$

So, $9(t-u)$ is equivalent to (x-y).

Answer 2:

It is given that the sum of infinite geometric series with first term 'a' and common ratio r<1 = $\frac{a}{1-r}$

Since, the sum of the given infinite geometric series = 200

Therefore, $\frac{a}{1-r}=200$

Since, r=0.15 (given)

$\frac{a}{1-0.15}=200$

$\frac{a}{0.85}=200$

$a=0.85 \times 200$

a=170

The nth term of geometric series is given by $ar^{n-1}$ .

So, second term of the series = $ar^{2-1}$ = ar

Second term = $170 \times 0.15$

= 25.5

So, the second term of the geometric series is 25.5

In triangle ABC, angle A is 75o and angle B is 20o. Select the triangle that is similar to triangle ABC.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. $\triangle$ DEF where $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we must keep in mind that two triangles are similar when they have same angle configuration, that is, each pair of angles is congruent. If $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ DEF, then $\angle A \equiv \angle D$ and $\angle B \equiv \angle E$ . Hence, $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .

In a nutshell, correct answer is A.

I believe your answer is C, because Y (payment after taxes) is x (what he recieved the first time) minus taxes (0.18%) Hope this helped!
