Answer:

35 km/hr and 25 km/hr

Explanation:

Total distance is D.

Let speed of one cyclist be X km/hr.

Speed of second cyclist = ( X-10) km/hr

Now,

                        Distance = Speed * Time

Total distance D = Distance covered by slower cyclist + Distance covered by                                     faster cyclist.

                       D =  2* X + 2(X-10)

                       120 =  2X + 2X -20

                       120 = 4X - 20

                       140 = 4X

                         X = 35 km/hr

Therefore, Speed of faster cyclist = 35 km/hr

                  Speed of slower cyclist = 35-10

                                                          = 25km/hr

Answer:

Exp35 km/h , 25 km/hlanation:

Let the speed of one cyclist is v and the speed of another cyclist is v - 10.

Distance traveled by the first cyclist in 2 hours = v x 2

Distance traveled by the second cyclist in 2 hours = (v - 10) x 2

They meet after 2 hours.

So the distance traveled by the first and the second cyclist is equal to 120 km.

2 v + 2 (v -10) = 120

2v + 2v - 20 = 120

4v = 140

v = 35 km/h

The speed of first cyclist is 35 km/h and the speed of another cyclist is 35 - 10 = 25 km/h.

The Kentucky Derby is a 1¼ mile race. Mandaloun ran it in 1.52 minutes. Hot Rod Charlie ran at a speed of .79 miles per minute.
artcher [175]

Answer:

Mandaloun won the race.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time taken by the Hot Rod Charlie:

s = vt\\t = \frac{s}{v}

where,

t = time taken by Hot Rod Charlie = ?

s = distance covered = 1.25 miles

v = speed of Hot Rod Charlie = 0.79 miles/min

Therefore,

t = \frac{1.25\ miles}{0.79\ miles/min} \\t = 1.58 min

Since Hot Rod Charlie took more time (1.58 min) than the Mandaloun (1.52 min).

<u>Therefore Mandaloun won the race.</u>

A friend of yours is loudly singing a single note at 412 Hz while racing toward you at 25.8 m/s on a day when the speed of sound
xeze [42]

Answer:

5541Hz

Explanation:

If the frequency of a wave is directly proportional to the velocity we have;

F = kV where;

F is the frequency

K is the constant of proportionality

V is the velocity

Since f = kV

K = f/v

K = F1/V1 = F2/V2

Given f1 = 412Hz v1 = 25.8m/s f2 = ? V2 = 347m/s

Substituting in the formula we have;

412/25.8=f2/347

Cross multiplying

25.8f2 = 412×347

F2 = 412×347/25.8

F2 = 5541Hz

The frequency heard will be 5541Hz
