A car travels 98 miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes. what is the average speed?

1 answer:

4 0

Firstly let us get the time down to minutes from hours. Then the calculation will become easy.
1 hour and 45 minutes = (60 + 45) minutes
= 105 minutes
So
The distance traveled by the car in 105 minutes = 98 miles
Then
The distance traveled by the car in 60 minutes = (98/105) * 60 miles
= 5880/105 miles
= 56 miles
So the average speed of the car as can be seen from the above deduction is 56 miles per hour.

A player kicks a football from ground level with a velocity of 26.2m/s at an angle of 34.2° above the horizontal. How far back f

For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.

For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How long does it take for the ball to reach the goal?

Let the distance between the kicker and the goal be $x$ meters.

Horizontal velocity of the ball will always be $26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}$ until it lands if there's no air resistance.

The ball will arrive at the goal in $\displaystyle \frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}}$ seconds after it leaves the kicker.

What will be the height of the ball when it reaches the goal?

Consider the equation

$\displaystyle h(t) = -\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} + v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} \cdot t + h_0$ .

For this soccer ball:

$g = 9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} = 26.2\times \sin{34.2\textdegree{}}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$h_0 = 0$ since the player kicks the ball "from ground level."

$\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}}$

when the ball reaches the goal.

$\displaystyle h= - 9.81 \times \frac{x^2}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2} + (26.2 \times \sin{34.2\textdegree})\times\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}} \\\phantom{h} = -\frac{9.81}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2}\cdot x^{2} + \frac{\sin{34.2\textdegree}}{\cos{34.2\textdegree}}\cdot x$ .

Solve this quadratic equation for $x$ , $x > 0$ .

$x = 65.1$ meters when $h = 0$ meters.
$x = 6.54$ or $58.5$ meters when $h = 4$ meters.

In other words,

For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.
For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.
