A truck covers a distance of 150 km at a certain average speed and then covers another 200 km at an average speed which is 20 km

per hour more than the first speed. If the truck covers the total distance in 5 hours, find the speed of the truck.

Answer:

Since the speed can't be negative it was 60 km/h for the first stage and 80 km/h on the second stage, averaging 70 km/h for the whole course.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the truck for the first stage of the route is "x" km/h, while on the second one it raises to "x + 20" km/h. The time it takes to complete each stage is shown below:

t_{stage 1} = \frac{150}{x}\\t_{stage 2} = \frac{200}{x + 20}

The sum of these times must be equal to the total time of the trip, therefore:

t_{stage1} + t_{stage2} = 5

\frac{150}{x} + \frac{200}{x + 20} = 5\\\frac{150*(x + 20) + 200*x}{x(x + 20)} = 5\\150*x + 3000 + 200*x = 5*x*(x + 20)\\5*x^2 + 100*x - 350*x - 3000 = 0\\5*x^2 - 250*x - 3000 = 0\\x^2 - 50*x - 600 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-50) \pm \sqrt{(-50)^2 - 4*1*(-600)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{50\pm \sqrt{2500 + 2400}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{50\pm \sqrt{4900}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{50 \pm 70}{2}\\x_{1} = 60\\x_{2} = -10

Since the speed can't be negative it was 60 km/h for the first stage and 80 km/h on the second stage, averaging 70 km/h for the whole course.

Suppose Amanda wants to have $800,000 in her IRA at the end of 30 years. She chooses to invest in an annuity that pays
VARVARA [1.3K]

Her IRA interest at the end of 30 years is mathematically given as

Interest= 438,765.56

<h3> IRA interest </h3>

Question Parameters:

  • N = 30
  • PV = 0
  • rate = 5%
  • FV = 800,000

Generally the equation for the payment function on excel is mathematically given as

A=PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type])

Therefore, inputting our functions

A=PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type])

where

A=PMT(5%, 30, 0, [800000], [])

A = 12,041.1481

Hence

interest = 800,000 - 30*12,041.1481

Interest= 438,765.56

If an object is launched at an angle of 28° with an initial velocity of 133 ft./s from a height of 6 feet how many seconds will
Tema [17]

Answer:

Hence after  3.98 sec  i.e  4 sec Object will hit the ground  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height= 6 feet

Angle =28 degrees.

V=133 ft/sec

To Find:

Time in seconds after which it will hit the ground?

Solution:

<em>This problem is related to projectile motion for objec</em>t

First calculate the Range for object  and it is given by ,

R=v^2Sin(2Ф)/g

Here R= range  g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/sec^2

1m =3.2 feet

So 9.8 m, equals to 9.8 *3.2=31.36 ft

So g=31.36 ft/sec^2. and 2Ф=2(28)=56

R=133^2*Sin(56)/31.36

R=14664.84/31.36

R=467.62  fts

Now using Formula for time and range as

R=VxT

Vx is horizontal velocity

Vx=V*cosФ

Vx=133*cos(28)

Vx=117.43  ft/sec

So above equation becomes as ,

467.62=117.43*T

T=467.62/117.43

T=3.98 sec

T is approximately equals to 4 sec.
