Let x mph be the speed of the ship in still water.
Against the current, the net speed is, (x-1.9) mph.
Time, t= distance, d/ Speed, v => 9= 113.4/(x-1.9) => 9(x-1.9) = 113.4 => x-1.9 = 113.4/9 => x = 12.6+1.9 = 14.5 mph

Moving with the current, the net speed of the ship = 14.5+1.9 =16.4 mph

Time take, t = d/v = 113.4/16.4 = 6.915 hours

A small steel roulette ball rolls around the inside of a 30 cm diameter roulette wheel. It is spun at 150 rpm, but is slows to 6
liraira [26]

Solution :

Given

Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm

The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm

The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm

Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60

                                                                      = 90 rpm

Therefore,

90 revolutions in 1 minute

or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times

i.e. 1 min = 90 rev

     60 sec = 90 rev

        1 sec = 90/ 60 rec

         5 sec = $\frac{90}{60}\times 5$

                   = 75 rev

Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.

If you are driving 90 km/hkm/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.8 ss , how far do you travel during this ina
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Distance = 70 meters

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Speed = 90 km/h

Time = 2.8 seconds

<u>Conversion:</u>

90 km/h to meters per seconds = 90 * 1000/3600 = 90000/3600 = 25 m/s

To find the distance covered during this inattentive period;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Making distance the subject of formula, we have;

Distance = speed * time

Substituting into the above formula, we have;

Distance = 25 * 2.8

<em>Distance = 70 meters</em>
