Speed=distance / time
Data:
distance=240 m
time=6 s

Speed of this train=240 m / 6 s=40 m/s

The train pass through 480 meters of tunnel, therefore the distance will be:
distance of the tunnel + distance of the train= 480 m + 80 m=560 m

speed=distance / time   ⇒  Time=distance / speed
Data:

distance=560 m
speed=40 m/s

Time=560 m/ (40 m/s)=14 s

Answer: 14 seconds will take the train to pass through a 480 m long tunnel.

Answer:

Speed=distance / time

Data:

distance=240 m

time=6 s

Speed of this train=240 m / 6 s=40 m/s

The train pass through 480 meters of tunnel, therefore the distance will be:

distance of the tunnel + distance of the train= 480 m + 80 m=560 m

speed=distance / time   ⇒  Time=distance / speed

Data:

distance=560 m

speed=40 m/s

Time=560 m/ (40 m/s)=14 s

Answer: 14 seconds will take the train to pass through a 480 m long tunnel

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

the best option would be to swim

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must follow the following steps.

1. remember the concept of uniform motion with constant speed, which establishes the following equation

t=\frac{X}{V}

where

t=time

x=distance

V=speed

2. Calculate the time it takes to swim and calculate the time it takes to walk

walking:

x=10mile

v=5milles/h

t=\frac{10}{5} =2h

swimming

x=1mile

v=3milles/h

t=\frac{1}{3} =0.3h

3. Compare both results and choose the one with the least time.

as you can see it takes less time swimming, so this would be the best way

find the coordinates of p so that p partitions segment ab in the part to whole ratio of 1 to 4 with a(-5,4) and b(7,-4)
scoray [572]

Answer:

p(x,y) = (-2.6 ,2.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a(-5,4) and b(7,-4)

Required

Partition P

Given that the segment ab is divided into ratio;

The coordinates of point p can be calculated using ratio formula given below

p(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} ,\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n})

Where m and n are the ratio; m = 1 and n = 4

(x_1, y_1) = (-5,4); \\(x_2, y_2) = (7,-4)

So,

p(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} ,\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}) becomes

p(x,y) = (\frac{1 *7 + 4 * -5}{1+4} ,\frac{1 * -4 + 4 * 4}{1+4})

p(x,y) = (\frac{7 + -20}{5} ,\frac{-4 + 16}{5})

p(x,y) = (\frac{-13}{5} ,\frac{12}{5})

p(x,y) = (-2.6 ,2.4)

Hence, the coordinates of p are (-2.6,2.4)
