To determine what the cyclists average speed is, simply divide the distance the cyclist has travelled by the time the cyclist has traveled for.
Assuming that this is the average rate the cyclist is moving at it would be 12 km/hr.
The units of velocity is :
meter per second (m/s)
I believe the answer should be D
Answer:
The BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day is 63.5 mg/L
Explanation:
Let the initial concentration of the BOD = C₀
Concentration of BOD at any time or point = C
dC/dt = - KC
∫ dC/C = -k ∫ dt
Integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the right hand side from 0 to t
In (C/C₀) = -kt + b (b = constant of integration)
At t = 0, C = C₀
In 1 = 0 + b
b = 0
In (C/C₀) = - kt
(C/C₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ
C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ
C₀ = 75 mg/L
k = 0.05 /day
C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ
So, we need the BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day
We calculate how many days it takes the river to reach 50 km downstream
Velocity = (displacement/time)
15 = 50/t
t = 50/15 = 3.3333 days
So, we need the C that corresponds to t = 3.3333 days
C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ
0.05 t = 0.05 × 3.333 = 0.167
C = 75 e⁻⁰•¹⁶⁷
C = 63.5 mg/L
P1v1/t1 = p2v2/t2
p1=475, v1=4, t1=290
v2=6.5, t2=277
solve for p2 in kpa
