When they are both racing on hoverboards, Victoria is 3 times as fast as her brother Max. When she is on foot, she is 3 times sl

ower than Max on his hoverboard. They took off on hoverboards at the same time, but after 12 minutes, Victoria’s hoverboard broke and she immediately started to run. If the race was a tie, how long, in minutes, did it last from start to finish?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The time will be 48 minutes

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let r be Max's rate of speed and t be the total time.

Using the equation d = rt for this situation

Victoria is 3 times as fast as Max so her part gives us the expression 3r(12)

For the remaining part of the race, Victoria is 3 times slower than Max.  Lets represent it as 1/3r.  Since we do not know the amount of time she travels this way so we will represent this as 1/3r(t-12)

Together the distance on hoverboard and the distance on foot can be represented by d=3r(12)+1/3r(t-12).

So we have

3r(12)+1/3r(t-12) = rt

Simplifying, we have

36r+1/3r(t)-1/3r(12) = rt

36r + 1/3rt - 12/3r = rt

36r + 1/3rt - 4r = rt

Combining all the like terms,

32r + 1/3rt = rt

Subtract 1/3rt from each side:

32r + 1/3rt - 1/3rt = rt - 1/3rt

32r = 2/3rt

Divide both sides by r we get

32r/r = (2/3rt)/r

32 = 2/3t

Divide both sides by 2/3 we get

32 ÷ 2/3 = 2/3t ÷ 2/3

32 ÷ 2/3 = t

32/1 × 3/2 = t

96/2 = t

Answer:

Race completed in 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Max on hoverboard is = x

Then as per question speed of Victoria on hoverboard = 3x

Now it has been given in the question that speed of Victoria on foot is 1/3 of the speed of Max on hoverboard that will be = x/3

Now we will form the equation.

As we know the formula speed = distance/time

Let the time taken by both to complete the race be t minutes.

Distance covered by Victoria in 12 minutes + Distance covered by Victoria on foot = distance covered by Max on hoverboard

Then the equation will be

12(3x)+(1/3)x(t-12)=xt

36x+\frac{xt}{3}-4x=xt

x(36+\frac{t}{3}-4)=xt

36+\frac{t}{3}-4=t

32=t-\frac{t}{3}

\frac{2t}{3}=32

t=\frac{(32)3}{2}=48

So 48 minutes it took to complete the race.

How to find the y-intercept from a table AND from a graph.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

When Finding the Y-Intercept from a Graph and Table, you are searching for the point of intersection between the equation and the y-axis. When finding the Y-Intercept from a Graph, you should find where the line from the equation crosses the y-axis. The point where the equation crosses the y-axis is the Y-Intercept.

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 10 m, and the bottom of the wheel passes 1 m above the ground. If the Ferris wheel makes one comp
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

y = 11 - 10cos(0.1\pi t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose at t = 0 the person is 1m above the ground and going up

Knowing that the wheel completes 1 revolution every 20s and 1 revolution = 2π rad in angle, we can calculate the angular speed

2π / 20 = 0.1π rad/s

The height above ground would be the sum of the vertical distance from the ground to the bottom of the wheel and the vertical distance from the bottom of the wheel to the person, which is the wheel radius subtracted by the vertical distance of the person to the center of the wheel.

y = h_g + d_b = h_g + R - d_c (1)

where h_g = 1 is vertical distance from the ground to the bottom of the wheel, d_b is the vertical distance from the bottom of the wheel to the person, R = 10 is the wheel radius, d_c is the vertical distance of the person to the center of the wheel.

So solve for d_c in term of t, we just need to find the cosine of angle θ it has swept after time t and multiply it with R

d_c = Rcos(\theta(t)) = Rcos(\omega t) = 10cos(0.1\pi t)

Note that d_c is negative when angle θ gets between π/2 (90 degrees) and 3π/2 (270 degrees) but that is expected since it would mean adding the vertical distance to the wheel radius.

Therefore, if we plug this into equation (1) then

y = h_g + R - d_c = 1 + 10 - 10cos(0.1\pi t) = 11 - 10cos(0.1\pi t)
