Jessica and Martin start riding their bicycles towards each other at 2 pm. At 2 pm, they are 25 miles apart. Jessica rides her b

ike at a constant rate of 15 miles per hour and Martin rides his at a constant rate of 10 miles per hour. At 2 pm, a bird starts flying towards Martin. As soon as the bird gets to Martin, it turns back around and flies towards Jessica, and continues going back and forth until Jessica and Martin meet. The bird travels at a constant rate of 45 miles per hour. How far does the bird fly from the time it starts until Jessica and Martin meet

Answer:

45 miles

Explanation:

Speed of Jessica = 15 mph

Speed of Martin = 10 mph

Distance between them = 25 miles

Time they both will be cycling is the same = t (Assuming they started at the same time and stop at the same time they meet)

Speed of bird = 45 mph

Distance = Speed × Time

15t+10t=25\\\Rightarrow 25t=25\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{25}{25}\\\Rightarrow t=1\ h

Let us assume the bird started at the same position as Jessica

It keeps going back and forth between them for hour till they meet at constant speed

Distance=45\times 1=45\ miles

The distance the bird traveled is 45 miles

postnew [5]

Answer:

d=2.4\ miles

Explanation:

Given:

  • average walking speed, v_w=3\ mph
  • average biking speed, v_b=12\ mph

<u>According to given condition:</u>

t_w=t_b+\frac{36}{60}

where:

t_w= time taken to reach the building by walking

t_b= time taken to reach the building by biking

We know that,

\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}

so,

\frac{d}{v_w} =\frac{d}{v_b} +\frac{36}{60}

\frac{d}{3}=\frac{d}{12} +\frac{3}{5}

d=2.4\ miles

How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 99.4 MHz?
raketka [301]

Answer:

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Explanation:

We have given the frequency of the broadcast f=99.4MHz=99.4\times 10^4Hz

The speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

The distance of the antenna to receive a minimum signal from the station is given by d=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{99.4\times 10^6}=3.018m

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Solve for x. 4(x+1)≤4x+3
alexdok [17]
4x + 4 < 4x + 3 (expand it)
4 < 3 (cancel 4x on both sides)
Since 4 < 3 is not true there is no solution.

Answer: NO SOLUTION.

Which type of force can be in the same it opposite direction?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C) unbalanced

Explanation:

Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.
