Let n = the hours elapsed when the two trains are 660 miles apart.

Let the first train travel east and the second train travel west.

The distance traveled by the first train is

x = (50 mi/h)*(n h) = 50n mi

The distance traveled by the second train is

y = (60 mi/h)*(n h) = 60n h

The distance between the two trains after n hours is

x + y = 50 n + 60n = 110n mi

Because this distance is 660 miles, therefore

110n = 660

n = 6 hours

Answer: 6 hours

I hope this helps. Sorry it took so long

An airplane is flying at a speed of 500 mi/h at an altitude of one mile. The plane passes directly above a radar station at time

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a) $s=\sqrt{1+d^2}$

b)d(t)=500t

c) $s(t) =\sqrt{1+250000t^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

d = Horizontal distance

s = the distance between the plane and the radar station

The horizontal distance (d), the one mile altitude, and s form a right triangle.

So, use Pythagoras theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2$

$s^2=1^2+d^2$

a) $s=\sqrt{1+d^2}$

(b) Express d as a function of the time t (in hours) that the plane has flown.

$distance = speed \times time$

d(t)=500t

$s(t) =\sqrt{1+d^2}$

using b

$s(t) =\sqrt{1+(500t)^2}\\s(t) =\sqrt{1+250000t^2}$

David wants to fill his backyard swimming pool. His garden hose delivers 40 gallons in 5 minutes. How many gallons of water will

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Part a) $160\ gallons$

Part b) $480\ gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many gallons of water will be in the pool after 20 minutes?

we know that

Using proportion

$\frac{40}{5}\frac{gallons}{minutes}=\frac{x}{20}\frac{gallons}{minutes} \\ \\x=40*20/5\\ \\x=160\ gallons$

Part b) How many gallons of water will be in the pool after 1 hour

we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

Using proportion

$\frac{40}{5}\frac{gallons}{minutes}=\frac{x}{60}\frac{gallons}{minutes} \\ \\x=40*60/5\\ \\x=480\ gallons$
