A large aquarium of water is being filled with a hose. Due to a problem, the sensor does not start working until some time into

the filling process. The sensor starts its recording at the time zero minutes. The sensor initially detects the tank has 225 liters of water in it. The hose fills the aquarium at a constant rate of 15 liters per minute. What will the sensor read at the time 5 minutes? Later, someone wants to use the data to find the amount of water at times before the sensor started. What should the sensor have read at the time -7 minutes?

Answer: The sensor will read 300 liters after 5 minutes.

The sensor sensor should have read 120 liters at time -7 minutes.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount of water detected by sensor initially= 225 litres

Since, the hose fills the aquarium at a constant rate of 15 liters per minute.

Let x be the time , and y be reading of sensor then

y=225+15x

Therefore, the sensor reads after 5 minutes (put x=5 in the equation)= 225+5(15)=300\ liters

To find the sensor read at time -7 minutes put x=-7 in the equation, we get

y=225+15(-7)=225-105=120

Hence, the sensor should have read 120 liters at time -7 minutes.

A submarine left Diego Garcia five hours before a cruise ship. The ships traveled in opposite directions. The cruise ship travel
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The speed of the submarine is 15.429 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that both ships travel at constant velocities. As we know that both travel in opposite directions, it is supposed that cruise ship moves in +x direction, whereas submarine in -x direction. Kinematic equations for each sheep are described below:

Ship

x_{Sh} = x_{o} + v_{Sh}\cdot t

Submarine

x_{Su} = x_{o}+v_{Su}\cdot t

Where:

x_{o} - Position of Diego Garcia island, measured in miles.

x_{Sh}, x_{Su} - Current positions of ship and submarine, measured in miles.

v_{Sh}, v_{Su} - Velocities of ship and submarine, measured in miles per hour.

t - TIme, measured in hours.

If we know that x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = 241\,mi, v_{Sh} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h} and t = 7\,h, then:

x_{Sh} - x_{Su} = (v_{Sh}-v_{Su})\cdot t

We clear now the velocity of submarine:

\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t} = v_{Sh}-v_{Su}

v_{Su} = v_{Sh}-\frac{x_{Sh}-x_{Su}}{t}

v_{Su} = 19\,\frac{mi}{h} -\frac{241\,mi}{7\,h}

v_{Su} = -15.429\,\frac{mi}{h}

Speed of the submarine is the magnitude of its velocity, which is 15.429 miles per hour.
