If the track has circumference c miles, then and the car's speeds are x and y mi/s, then since time = distance/speed, 

<span>In the same direction, the slow car has a "lead" of 1 mile which the faster car has to make up. </span>

<span>1/(y-x) = 120 </span>
<span>1/(x+y) = 30 </span>

<span>120(y-x) = 30(x+y) </span>
<span>120y-120x = 30x+30y </span>
<span>90y = 150x </span>
<span>y = 5/3 x </span>


<span>1/(x + 5/3 x) = 30 </span>
<span>8/3 x * 30 = 1 </span>
<span>80x = 1 </span>
<span>x = 1/80 mi/sec = 45 mph </span>
<span>y = 75 mph</span>

In the deep ocean, a water wave with wavelength 95 m travels at 12 m/s. Suppose a small boat is at the crest of this wave, 1.2 m
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

the vertical position is 1.1971m

Explanation:

Recall that

y = 1.2 * cos (\frac{2*\pi * distance travelled}{wavelenght})

recall that v = \frac{distance}{time}

thus;  distance =  v* t

this implies that distance = 12 * 5.0

                                          =  60

therefore;  y = 1.2 cos \frac{2*3.142*60}{95}

                  y = 1.1971m
