Principle: Pythagorean theorem

Given:
Let a = boat velocity = 25 miles per hour
      b = river velocity = 10 miles per hour

Required: c = actual velocity

Solution:
     
     c^2 = a^2 + b^2
     c^2 = (25)^2 + (10)^2
     c^2 = 725
     (c^2)^0.5 = (725)^0.5
      c = 26.93 miles per hour

<em>ANSWER: Actual boat velocity is 26.93 miles per hour</em>

An ice cream machine produced 44 ice creams per minute. After reconditioning, its speed increase to 55 ice creams per minute. By
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

an ice cream machine produced 44 ice cream per minute.

Now, after reconditioning it  speeds up to 55 ice cream per minute.

=> 55 - 44 = 11

=> 11 / 44 = 0.25

=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%.

thus it increased it production to 25%.

A system gains 757 kJ757 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +176 kJ.+176 kJ. How much w
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

581 kJ, work was done by the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)

In this problem,

Q=+757 kJ

\Delta U = +176 kJ

Therefore the work done by the system is

W=Q-\Delta U=757 kJ-176 kJ=+581 kJ

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.

A horizontal circular curve on a highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. If the radius of the curve is 150 m, and if
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 \frac{m}{s}

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}

v^{2} = r g \tan \theta

\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}

Put all the values in above formula we get

\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}

\tan \theta = 2.446

\theta = 67.76 °

Therefore the value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °
