Answer:

TMS = 45.78 m/s

SMS = 45.66 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Vehicle Travel Time (s)

1 40.5

2 44.2

3 41.7

4 47.3

5 46.5

6 41.9

7 43.0

8 47.0

9 42.6

10 43.3

Time mean speed and space mean speed are parameters used to express the speed of a group of vehicles in traffic flow.

Time mean speed is given as the average speed of all the cars

The speed for each vehicle is calculated by dividing the (2000 ft) distance by the time taken by each vehicle to complete that segment of the journey.

Let vehicle = V

Travel time = time

Speed = s

V | Time | speed (ft/s)

1 | 40.5 | 49.383

2 | 44.2 | 45.249

3 | 41.7 | 47.962

4 | 47.3 | 42.283

5 | 46.5 | 43.011

6 | 41.9 | 47.733

7 | 43.0 | 46.512

8 | 47.0 | 42.553

9 | 42.6 | 46.948

10| 43.3 | 46.189

TMS = (Σsᵢ)/N

Σsᵢ = (49.383+45.249+47.962+42.283+43.011+47.733+46.512+42.553+46.948+46.189)

Σsᵢ = 457.823

N = number of vehicles = 10

TMS = 457.823 ÷ 10 = 45.7823 = 45.782 m/s

b) Space mean speed is given as

SMS = N ÷ [Σ (1/sᵢ)]

V | Time | speed | (1/sᵢ)

1 | 40.5 | 49.383 | 0.02025

2 | 44.2 | 45.249 | 0.02210

3 | 41.7 | 47.962 | 0.02085

4 | 47.3 | 42.283 | 0.02365

5 | 46.5 | 43.011 | 0.02325

6 | 41.9 | 47.733 | 0.02095

7 | 43.0 | 46.512 | 0.02150

8 | 47.0 | 42.553 | 0.02350

9 | 42.6 | 46.948 | 0.02130

10| 43.3 | 46.189 | 0.02165

Σ (1/sᵢ) = (0.02025+0.02210+0.02085+0.02365+0.02325+0.02095+0.02150+0.02350+0.02130+0.02165)

Σ (1/sᵢ) = 0.219

SMS = 10 ÷ [Σ (1/sᵢ)] = 10 ÷ 0.219

SMS = 45.662 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

Which graph shows the solution set of the compound inequality 1.5x-1&gt;6.5 or 7x+3&lt;-25
ad-work [718]
For this case we have the following inequations:
 1.5x-1> 6.5
 7x + 3 <-25
 Clearing x from each one we have:
 For 1.5x-1> 6.5:
 1.5x> 6.5 + 1
 1.5x> 7.5
 x> 7.5 / 1.5
 x> 5
 For 7x + 3 <-25:
 7x <-25-3
 7x <-28
 x <-28/7
 x <-4
 The solution set is:
 (inf, -4) U (5, inf)

The cost of 5 cans of dog food is 4.35. At this price ,how much do 11 cans of dog food cost
Setler [38]

Answer:

$9.57

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do 4.35 divided by 5 to get how much 1 can cost. You will find out that 1 can cost $0.87. Next you will take how much one cost and mutiply it by 11.  When you do that you will get 9.57. That is how you will get $9.57 as your answer.

The Oliver Company plans to market a new product. Based on its market studies, Oliver estimates that it can sell up to 5,500 uni
Ghella [55]
<span>For the Oliver Company to break even, the total revenue must equal the sum of the variable costs and the fixed cost. Mathematically, this can be represented as: Total revenue = 0.4*(Total revenue) + (Fixed Costs) Let the number of units sold be x. then, 7*x = 0.4*(7*x) + 6300 Thus, x = 6300/(0.6*7) = 1500 units. Thus the company will have to sell 1500 units to break even.</span>
