A bicyclist travels due east 60.0 km in 3.5 hours. What is the cyclist average speed?

If it is average speed per hour, then you just have to divide 3.5 into 60
60/3.5 = 17.143 so around 17km/h

A boat that travels 3.00 m/s relative to the water is crossing a river that is 1.00 km wide. The destination on the far side of
Over [174]

Answer:

a) 10.29° upstream

b) t=338.7s

Explanation:

If the river is 1km wide and the destination point is 0.5km away downstream, then the angle and distance the the boat has to travel is:

\alpha =atan(\frac{0.5}{1})=26.56°

D=\sqrt{1^2+0.5^2}=1.118km

The realitve velocity of the boat respect to the water is:

V_{B/W}=[3*cos\beta ,3*sin\beta ]  where β is the angle it has to be pointed at.

From the relative mvement equations:

V_{B/W}=V_B-V_W  where V_B=[V*cos\alpha ,-V*sin\alpha ]

From this equation we get one equation per the x-axis and another for the y-axis. If we square each of them and add them together, we will get 2 equations:

(3*cos\beta )^2+(3*sin\beta )^2=(V*cos\alpha )^2+(-V*sin\alpha +2)^2

V^2-4*V*sin\alpha -5=0  Solving for V:

V = 3.3m/s   and   V=-1.514m/s   Replacing this value into one of our previous x or y-axis equations:

\beta =acos(\frac{V*cos\alpha }{3} ) = 10.29°

The amount of time:

t = D/V = \frac{1118m}{3.3m/s} =338.7s

A tree loses water to the air by the process of transpiration at the rate of 110 g/h. This water is replaced by the upward flow
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The answer is 1.87nm/s.

Explanation:

The 110g/hr  water loss must be replaced by 110g/hr of sap. 110g of sap corresponds to a volume of  

110g \div \dfrac{1040*10^3g}{1*10^6cm^3}  = 106cm^3

thus rate of sap replacement is

106cm^3/hr = 106*10^{-6}m^3/3600s  = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s

The volume of sap in the vessel of length x is

V = Ax,

where A is the cross sectional area of the vessel.

For 2000 such vessels, the volume is

V = 2000Ax

taking the derivative of both sides we get:

\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 2000A \dfrac{dx}{dt}

on the left-hand-side \dfrac{dx}{dt} is the velocity v of the sap, and on right-hand-side \dfrac{dV}{dt}  = 2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s; therefore,

2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s=2000Av

and since the cross-sectional area is

A = \pi (\dfrac{100*10^{-3}m}{2} )^2 = 7.85*10^{-3}m^2;

therefore,

2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s =2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)v

solving for v we get:

v = \dfrac{2.94*10^{-8}m^3/s}{2000(7.85*10^{-3}m^2)}

\boxed{v =1.875*10^{-9}m/s = 1.875nm/s}

which is the upward speed of the sap in each vessel.

What is the speed of a walking person in m/s if the person travels 1000 m in 20 minutes?
Nata [24]

Answer:

0.83m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

distance  = 1000m

time taken  = 20min

Unknown:

Speed of the walking person  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time taken}

  Time taken should be in seconds;

                 1 min   =  60s

                 20min  = 20 x 60  = 1200s

Speed  = \frac{1000}{1200}   = 0.83m/s
