Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 3.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 7.4 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 3.8 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross?

Answer:

The distance of the two runners from the flagpole is 0.0882 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the minus sign when the runner is on the west and the plus sign when the runner is on the east.

Then, Taking into account  the runner A is 6 km west and is running with a constant velocity of 3 Km/h east, the distance of the runner A from the flagpole is given by the following equation:

Xa = -6 Km + (3 Km/h)* t

Where Xa is the position of the runner A from the flagpole and t is the time in hours.

At the same way the distance of the runner B, Xb, from the flagpole is given by the following equation:

Xb = 7.4 Km - (3.8 Km/h)*t

Then, the two runners cross their path when Xa is equal to Xb, so if we solve this equation for t, we get:

              Xa = Xb

     -6 + (3*t) =  7.4 - (3.8*t)

(3.8*t) + (3*t) = 7.4 + 6

         (6.8*t) = 13.4

                  t = 13.4/6.8

                  t = 1.9706

Therefore, at time t equal to 1.9706 hours, both runners cross their path. The distance of the two runners from the flagpole can be calculated replacing the value of t in equation for Xa or in equation for Xb as:

Xa = -6 Km + (3 Km/h)* t

Xa = -6 Km + (3 Km/h)*(1.9706 h)

Xa = -0.0882 Km

That means that both runners are 0.0882 Km west of a flagpole.

The price of a pair of shoes is $45.90. The sales tax rate is 5%. How much sales tax do you need to pay?
Ne4ueva [31]
Multiply the price by the 5% by turning the percent into a decimal.
5% = 0.05
45.90 x 0.05 = $2.295
Which can be rounded to 2.30 if needed.
