Robin rides a personal watercraft 75° west of south at 70 miles/hour. the water current is moving 6 miles/hour at an angle of 75

° south of west. what is the actual speed (rounded to the nearest hundredth) of robin's watercraft?

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainy.

The path of the watercraft and the water current, when joined by a line forming a right angle would make a right triangle. From here, we can know the component in which it is along the same direction with the watercraft. Let's denote this as x.

x = 6 miles/h * cos 75 degrees
x = 1.55 miles/h

Thus, the actual speed = 70 + 1.55 = 71.55 miles/h

Answer:

Actual speed = 73.18 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let positive x axis represent east and positive y axis represent north.

Robin rides a personal watercraft 75° west of south at 70 miles/hour.

Velocity of personal watercraft = 70 miles/hour at 75° west of south

                                                    = 70 miles/hour at 15° south of west

                                                    =  -70 cos 15 i + -70 sin 15 j

                                                    = -67.61 i - 18.12 j

The water current is moving 6 miles/hour at an angle of 75° south of west.

Velocity of  water current = 6 miles/hour at 75° south of west

                                           = 6 miles/hour at 75° south of west

                                           =  -6 cos 75 i + -6 sin 75 j

                                           = -1.55 i - 5.80 j

Total velocity = -67.61 i - 18.12 j -1.55 i - 5.80 j = -69.16 i - 23.92 j

\texttt{Actual speed =}\sqrt{(-69.16)^2+(-23.92)^2}=73.18m/s

Part A

Let's say point P is the starting point and point Q is the endpoint

x = one-way distance from P to Q, and vice versa

The goal is to find x, then compute 2x to find the round trip distance traveled.

We'll use this idea

distance = rate*time

which solves to

time = distance/rate

So when going from P to Q, the driver is going 70 mph and travels x miles

So the driver does this for distance/time = x/70 hours.

When going back, the driver slows down to 55 mph so the time taken here is x/55 hours.

The total time values add to x/70 + x/55 hours

Set this equal to the total driving time of 7 hours and solve for x

x/70 + x/55 = 7

70*55*(x/70 + x/55) = 70*55*7

70*55*(x/70) + 70*55*(x/55) = 26,950

55x + 70x = 26,950

125x = 26,950

x = (26,950)/125

x = 215.6 which is the one-way distance in miles

which then means,

2x = 2*215.6 = 431.2

Therefore, the total distance traveled is 431.2 miles

<h3>Answer: 431.2 miles</h3>

=========================================================

Part B

To find the duration of each trip, we simply need to evaluate x/70 and x/55. Those are the durations when going 70 mph and 55 mph respectively. These durations are measured in hours.

x/70 = (215.6)/70 = 3.08

x/55 = (215.6)/55 = 3.92

Note how 3.08+3.92 = 7 to help verify the answers.

<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • When going 70 mph, it takes about 3.08 hours
  • When going 55 mph, it takes about 3.92 hours

In the last six months, Sonia's family used 529, 499, 651, 652, 1,163, and 310 minutes on their cell phone plan. To save money,
Tresset [83]

Answer:

They went over their goal for the last six months by 34 minutes per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of a data-set:

The mean of a data-set is the sum of all values in the data-set divided by the size of the data-set.

529, 499, 651, 652, 1,163, and 310 minutes on their cell phone plan.

The mean is:

M = \frac{529+499+651+652+1163+310}{6} = 634

By how many minutes did they go over their goal in the last six months?

The mean was of 634 minutes, and they wanted to keep it below 600. So

634 - 600 = 34

They went over their goal for the last six months by 34 minutes per month.
