Ivan drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. When Ivan drove h

ome, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. If his average rate was 27 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Ivan live from the mountains? Do not do any rounding.

Answer:252 miles

Explanation:

Given

During his way to mountain it took 7 hr to drive

and during his return trip it took 4 hr to return

Let x be the distance between home and mountain

average speed for return is  27 miles per hour faster than his former trip

let v be the speed on his way to mountain thus v+27 is his return speed

thus 7=\frac{x}{v}----1

for return trip

4=\frac{x}{v+27}-----2

divide  1 & 2

\frac{7}{4}=\frac{x\cdot (v+27)}{v\cdot x}

7v=4v+4\cdot 27

3v=4\cdot 27

v=36 mph

thus x=7\times 36=252\ miles

Two objects of equal mass are a fixed distance apart. If the mass of each object could be tripled, the gravitational force betwe
antiseptic1488 [7]

gravitational force between two objects is given as

F = G m₁ m₂/r²

where m₁ = mass of first object , m₂ = mass of second object , r = distance between the two objects .

Initial case :

m₁ = m₂ = m

gravitational force between the objects is given as

F = G m²/r²

Final Case :

m₁ = m₂ = 3 m

new gravitational force between the objects is given as

F' = G (3m)²/r²

F' = 9 G m²/r²

F' = 9 F

hence the gravitational force between the two objects becomes 9 times.
