In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.22 m/s, due west. This average velocity results be

cause she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.445 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
Can someone please help me please? I really really need help on this please!!!!

Wow! 2.95m/s is a mighty fast pace for a backpacker. Must have one of those Star Wars anti-gravity packs. Also, I would be curious as to why she passed her destination and then walked back. 
<span>Anyway, it goes like this: </span>
<span>Say the time walking east is 't', and the total time is 'T'. </span>
<span>Then 5340 m + .511 t = 1.43 T </span>
<span>(This assumes that velocity is positive in both directions) </span>
<span>Two unknowns in one equation. But you also know that the time spent walking west is </span>
<span>5340m/ 2.95m/s = 1810 sec. </span>
<span>and the total time T = 1810 +t </span>
<span>Substitute this into the first equation, and you can solve for t = 3092 sec. </span>
<span>Then T = 4902 sec. and distance walked east is .511t = 1580m.</span>

The owner of a company that manufactures drinking cups decides it would be impressive to build an inground swimming pool that is
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The depth is 5.15 m.

Explanation:

Lets take the depth of the pool = h m

The atmospheric pressure ,P = 101235 N/m²

The area of the top = A m²

The area of the bottom =  a m²

Given that A= 1.5 a

The force on the top of the pool = P A

The total pressure on the bottom = P + ρ g h

ρ =Density of the  water = 1000 kg/m³

The total pressure at the bottom of the pool =  (P + ρ g h) a

The bottom and the top force is same

(P + ρ g h) a = P A

P a +ρ g h a =  P A

ρ g h a =  P A - P a

h=\dfrac{P ( A-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5 a-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5- 1)}{\rho g}

h=\dfrac{101235 ( 1.5- 1)}{1000\times 9.81}\ m

h=5.15 m

The depth is 5.15 m.

a stone is projected vertically up from the top of a tower 73.5m with velocity 24.5 m/s . find the time taken by the stone to re
hoa [83]

The stone's altitude at time t is given by

y=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity. The stone reaches the ground when y=0:

0=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=7.11\,\rm s
