Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

   = (300 miles) / (5.5 hours)

   = ( 300 / 5.5 ) miles/hour

   = 54.55 mph

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing north and $\hat{j}$ pointing east, the final velocity will be

$\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )$

$\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

The final linear momentum will be:

$\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f$

$\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

$\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} )$

so:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

$( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

$\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.$

So, for the truck

$m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}$

And, for the car

$950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}$

$v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}$
