Jim began a 153-mile bicycle trip to build up stamina for a triathlon competition. Unfortunately, his bicycle chain broke, so he

finished the trip walking. The whole trip took 5 hours. If Jim walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour and rides at 42 miles per hour, find the amount of time he spent on the bicycle.

consider the motion when Jim travels by bicycle

D = total distance to be traveled for the trip = 153 mile

v = speed of riding = 42 mph

t = time taken to complete the trip by bicycle = ?

using the equation

t = D/ v

inserting the values

t = 153/42

t = 3.64  h

while walking and riding :

T = total time taken to complete the trip by walking and riding = 5 hours

t ' = time of walking = T - t = 5 - 3.64 = 1.36 hours

v' = speed of walking = 4 mph

d' = distance traveled by walking = ?

distance traveled by walking is given as

d' = v' t'

d' = 4 x 1.36

d' = 5.44 miles

d = distance traveled by bicycle = D - d' = 153 - 5.44 = 147.56 miles

v = speed of riding = 42 mph

t = time spent on the bicycle = ?

time spent on the bicycle is given as

t = d/v

t = 147.56/42

t = 3.51 hours

MArishka [77]

Answer:

It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.
