A motorboat takes 40 minutes to travel 20 miles downstream. The return trip takes 60 minutes. What is the speed of the current?

Let b be the speed of the boat, and c be the speed of the current. Then:
20/b+c=2/3 hr
20/b-c=1 hr
2/3b+2/3c=20
b-c=20
Then:
b+c=30
b-c=20
2b=50
b=25 mph
c=5 mph

Ket [755]

The percent error is 4.167 %

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Mrs Franklin's speedometer said she was driving at a rate of 48 miles per hour

When checking the accuracy of her speedometer, an Automotive Specialist recorded her speed at 50 miles per hour

<em><u>The percent error is given by formula:</u></em>

Percent error is the difference between a measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%

\text{Percent error } = \frac{\text{experimental-theoretical}}{theoretical} \times 100

From given,

Experimental value = 50

Theoretical value = 48

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get,</u></em>

Percent\ Error = \frac{50-48}{48} \times 100\\\\Percent\ Error = \frac{2}{48} \times 100\\\\Percent\ Error = 4.167

Thus the percent error is 4.167 %

Answer:

To provide a situation of 1 and O, here is a situation

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration would be 1.  

If the acceleration is 10 m/s, the object will gain more speed.

On the other hand, if the acceleration is -10m/s, then the object will lose speed.

In the case of 1, the object gained more speed, in the case of 0, the object will lose speed.

Pls help with Trigonometric
Sav [38]

The value of the given trigonometry function is 2√15/15

<h3>Half angles</h3>

Half angles are trigonometric identities used to express sine, cosine and tangent of half angles.

For instance the value of cos theta is expressed as shown below;

cosФ = cos(Ф/2+Ф/2)

cosФ = cos²Ф/2-sin²Ф/2
cosФ = cos²Ф/2-(1-cos²Ф/2)
cosФ  = 1 - 2cos²Ф/2

Given the following parameters

cosФ = -7/15

Substitute

cosФ  = 1 - 2cos²Ф/2

-7/15  = 1 - 2cos²Ф/2

-2cos²Ф/2 = -7/15 - 1

-2cos²Ф/2 = -8/15

cos²Ф/2 = 4/15
cosФ/2 = 2/√15

Rationalize

2/√15 * √15/√15

2√15/15

Hence the value of the given trigonometry function is 2√15/15
