Assume that the operating cost of a certain truck (excluding driver's wages) is 12+x/6 cents per mile when the truck travels at

x mi/hr. If the driver earns $6 per hour, what is the most economical speed to operate the truck on a 400 mi turnpike where the minimum speed is 40 mph and the maximum speed is 70 mph?

Answer:

x = 60 mph

Explanation:

Given that the operating cost is

c = 12 + \frac{x}{6} cents per mile

total miles covered is given as

d = 400 miles

so total cost of drive is given as

C = (12 + \frac{x}{6})(4) $

time taken by the truck to move the distance is given as

t = \frac{400}{x}

So total earnings of the driver is given as

E = \frac{400}{x} \times 6 $

now total profit of the driver is given as

P = \frac{2400}{x} - (48 + \frac{2x}{3}) $

to maximize the profit we have

\frac{dP}{dx} = 0

-\frac{2400}{x^2} + \frac{2}{3} = 0

so we have

x = 60 mph

On Mars, where air resistance is negligible, an astronaut drops a rock from a cliff and notes that the rock falls about d meters
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

d_1 = 16 d

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the fall of the stone is ZERO

v_i = 0

also the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is g

so we have

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

now we have

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g t^2

now if the same is dropped for 4t seconds of time

then again we will use above equation

d_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g(4t)^2

d_1 = 16(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)

d_1 = 16 d

aniked [119]
The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.
