Answer:
a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b) t =7.41 m/s
c)D= 66.70 m
Explanation:
Given that
Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s
Velocity of river = 9 m/s
a)The resultant velocity V
V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b)
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
Lets t time takes to cross the river
136 = 18.35 x t
t =7.41 m/s
c)
The distance covered downstream
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
t= 7.41 s
D= 7.41 x 9 m
D= 66.70 m
Answer: Hello!
Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.
We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.
this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:
if we want to write this in minutes, then:
we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:
0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.
then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.
