Answer:

36.1 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

rate at which the distance is changing is given by relative velocity(vR)

Look at the diagram. THe diagram shows relative motion. From relative motion diagram, velocity vector diagram is drawn.

From velocity vector diagram, it can be seen that relative velocity or vR can be calculated using pythagoras theorem.

vR²= vA² + vB²

vR²= 30²+ 20²

vR= 36.1 km/h

Answer:

At 4:00pm, the distance between ship A and B is increasing at the rate of 16.12 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms a right angle triangle.  At noon the distance between ship A and Ship B is 130 km . But ship A is west of ship B . Ship A is sailing east towards the starting point of ship B which means the distance is shrinking  at 30 km/hr and ship B is sailing north at 20 km/hr .This means ship B distance is extending.

The distance covered by ship A is  

distance = speed × time

noon to 4 pm  =  4 hrs

distance = 30 × 4

distance = 120 km

The distance covered by ship B is  

distance = speed × time

distance = 20 × 4

distance = 80 km

The distance from Ship A present position to ship B after moving east is 130 km - 120 km = 10 km.

Using Pythagorean theorem

c = ?

a = 10 km

b = 80 km

c² = a² + b²

c² = 10² + 80²

c² = 100 + 6400

c² = 6500

c = √6500

The question ask us how fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 pm. This means calculating the rate .

c² = a² + b²

differentiate with respect to time

2c(dc/dt) = 2a(da/dt) + 2b(db/dt)

divide through by 2

c(dc/dt) = a(da/dt) + b(db/dt)

since we are looking for the rate of c we make dc/dt subject of the formula

dc/dt = (a(da/dt) + b(db/dt)) / c

Note Ship A travelling to the east is shrinking. so the speed which is da/dt = - 30 km/hr

c = √6500

a = 10 km

b = 80 km

dc/dt =  10(-30) + 80(20) / √6500

dc/dt = (-300 + 1600)/√6500

dc/dt = 1300 /√6500

dc/dt = 1300/80.622577483

dc/dt = 16.1245154966 km / hr

At 4:00pm, the distance between ship A and B is increasing at the rate of 16.12 km/hr

Michelle receives 32K per year as an assistant fast food manager. Her benefits include health insurance, paid holidays, retireme
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The annual salary of Michelle including benefits = $48, 440

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since, you have not specified the table to show the value of each benefit.</em>

<em>So, I am assuming this table as the reference table to show the value of each benefit.</em>

<h3 /><h3><u>Benefits Value Table:</u></h3>

<h2>        Benefit                          Value</h2>

            Health Insurance                                 $7,550

            Paid Holidays                                       $660

            Retirement Contributions                    $4,500

            Paid Vacation                                        $1,230

            Uniform Supplied                                  $2,500

Here are the benefits details from the table:

Michelle receiving per year without benefits =  $32000

Health Insurance as benefit = $7,550

Paid Holidays  as benefit = $660

Retirement Contributions as benefit = $4,500

Paid Vacation as benefit = $1,230

Uniform Supplied as benefit = $2,500

So, the amount she gets from benefits = $7,550 + $660 + $4,500 + $1,230 + $2,500 = $16,440

So, the annual salary, including benefits could be calculated as:

Michelle receiving per year without benefits =  $32000

The amount Michelle gets from benefits = $16,440

Michelle have annual salary including benefits  = $32000 + $16,440

                                                                               = $48, 440

Hence, the annual salary of Michelle including benefits = $48, 440

It takes four minutes to fill a bathtub if the hot and cold water taps are both on and the stopper is in. It takes six minutes t
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it takes 4 minutes to fill the bathtub with both taps on and stopper is in then for each minute the 2 taps can fill up to a quarter (1/4) of the tub:

Similarly, it takes 6 minutes to drain the tub with both taps off and the stopper is out. This means for each minute the stopper can drain one sixth (1/6) of the tub.

Therefore, when both taps are on and the stopper is out, then for each minutes, the amount of water remaining in the tub is the water flowing in minus the water draining out

\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{12}tub

So for each minute, one twelveth of the tub is filled, for the tub to be completely filled in, it would take 12 minutes

Which expression is equivalent to (7 – 3k) – (4 – 5k) – (6 – 2k)?
gladu [14]

Answer:

The right response is "3(k-1)". A further solution is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

⇒ (7 -3k) - (4 - 5k) - (6 - 2k)

On solving the above expression, we get

⇒ 7-3k-4+5k-6+2k

⇒ 7-3k-10+7k

⇒ 3k-3

On taking "3" as common, we get

⇒ 3(k -1 )
