Answer:

16.67 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a train is 100 m long and it takes 30 seconds to cross a 400 m bridge.

We will use speed formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

We know that train has to cover the length of bridge and its own length to fully cross the bridge.

\text{Total distance covered by train}=\text{ Length of bridge+ Length of train}

\text{Total distance covered by train}=400\text{ m}+ 100\text{ m}

\text{Total distance covered by train}=500\text{ m}

Time taken by train to cross the bridge = 30 seconds.

Upon substituting these values in speed formula we will get,

\text{Speed}=\frac{500\text{ m}}{30\text{ seconds}}

\text{Speed}=16.67\frac{\text{ m}}{\text{ second}}

Therefore, the trains is going at a speed of 16.67 meters per second.

ycow [4]

Answer:

a)

AB is on the latitude 30°N.

<u>Find AB:</u>

  • AB = 2*3.142*6400*cos 30°*(32+35)/360 = 6482.15 km

BC is along longitude 35°W

<u>Find BC:</u>

  • BC = 2*3.142*6400*(30 + 20)/360 = 5585.77 km

<u>Total distance traveled:</u>

  • 6482.15 + 5585.77 = 12067.92 km

<u>Convert the distance to nautical miles:</u>

12067.92/1.86 = 6488.13 nautical miles

b)

<u>Find the average speed:</u>

  • 6488.13/22 = 294.92 nautical miles / hour

<u>Note</u>. <em>This is unrealistically high speed for a ship, this must be a plane or the time given wrong.</em>

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C) x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

When two segments intersect in a circle like so, the product of the two parts of one segment will be equal to the product of the two parts of the other segment.

So,<em> 3 * 6 = x * 2</em>

Multiply: 18 = x * 2

Divide: x = 9
