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.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1.000 - 2.236 = -1.236.

Estimate a 15% tip on a dinner bill of 79.45 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.
suter [353]

Answer: 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to round 79.45 to the nearest 10 dollars, which is 80.

We can then get 15% of it easily since its a whole number by adding 10% (8) and 5% (4) to get an estimate of around 12 dollars.

sarita use 54 ounces of apples to make an apple pie how many pounds and ounces of apples did sarita use
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
One pound is 16oz. So you take 54 and minus it by 16 until you get something less that 16. Then you take how many times you subtracted it, and that is how many pounds. Then you take the "leftover" number and they you have your answer. 
so Sarita used 3 pounds and 8 oz.
