Question

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain river normally flows at a speed of 3 miles per hour. What must its speed be in order to transport particles that are 200 times as massive as usual? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The speed of the river must be about BLANK miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

7.25

Step-by-step explanation:

200m/s^6 = m/3^6

s^6 = 200*3^6

s = 3*200^(1/6) = 7.25 mi/hr
