The average speed can be obtained by the formula:

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}.

If a boat travels 36 miles in 1.5 hours ans then in 14 miles in 0.75 hour, then find:

  • total distance is 36+14=50 miles;
  • total time: 1.5+0.75=2.25 hours.

Therefore,

V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{50}{2.25}=\dfrac{5000}{225}=\dfrac{200}{9}=22.(2) miles per hour.

Answer: V_{\text{average}}=\dfrac{200}{9}=22.(2) miles per hour.

36 miles in 1.5 hours means x miles in 1 hour. We divided 1.5 hours by 1.5 to get 1 hour, so we have to also divide 36 miles by 1.5 to find the distance travelled in 1 hour:

36 / 1.5 = 24 [miles per hour]

In the second situation:

0.75 hour / 0.75 = 1 hour
14 miles / 0.75 = 18,(6)       (infinite number of 6s - repeating decimal)

So here the boat travelled at the speed of about 18,7 miles per hour.

To find the overall average speed we have to add both speeds and then divide it by 2:

24 + 18,7 = 42,7
42,7 / 2 = 21,35

The average speed of the boat was 21,35 miles per hour.

Let v1=(2,-6) and v2=(-4,7)
seropon [69]

The magnitude of each vector is the Pythagorean sum of its components.


a. |v1| = √(2² + (-6)²) = √40 = 2√10

|v2| = √((-4)² + 7²) = √65


b. To make each vector into a unit vector, divide each component by the vector's magnitude.

u1 = v1/|v1| = (2/(2√10), -6/(2√10))

u1 = (√10/10, -3√10/10)


u2 = v2/|v2| = (-4/√65, 7/√65)

u2 = (-4√65/65, 7√65/65)

Lucy has two star systems left to visit on her voyage, but her ship is running low on fuel. The first system, KA-77, is 12001200
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

 1348 light years.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x represent the distance between KA-7 and KA-11.

We have been given that the first system, KA-7, is 1200 light years away while the second system, KA-11, is 1700 light years away. Lucy sees an angle of 52 degrees between KA-7 and KA-11.

We can see from our attachment that Lucy, KA-7 and KA-11 forms a triangle and we will use law of cosines to solve for x.  

(AB)^2=(AC)^2+(BC)^2-2(AC)(BC)*cos (C)

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

x^2=1200^2+1700^2-2*1200*1700*cos (52^o)  

x^2=1440000+2890000-4080000*0.615661475

x^2=4330000-2511898.81933008

x^2=1818101.18066992

Let us take square root of both sides of our equation.

x=\sqrt{1818101.18066992}

x=1348.3698234\approx 1348

Therefore, KA-7 and KA-11 are approximately 1348 light years apart.
