George walks 1 mile to school. He leaves home at the same time each day, walks at a steady speed of 3 miles per hour, and arrive

s just as school begins. Today he was distracted by the pleasant weather and walked the first 1/2 mile at a speed of only 2 miles per hour. At how many miles per hour must George run the last 1/2 mile in order to arrive just as school begins today?

Answer:

George must run the last half mile at a speed of 6 miles per hour in order to arrive at school just as school begins today

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of hours George must walk to arrive at school the normal time he arrives given that his speed is different from what it used to be.

Let’s first start at looking at how many hours he take per day on a normal day, all things being equal.

Mathematically;

time = distance/speed

He walks 1 mile at 3 miles per hour.

Thus, the total amount of time he spend each normal day would be;

time = 1/3 hour or 20 minutes

Now, let’s look at his split journey today. What we know is that by adding the times taken for each side of the journey, he would arrive at the school the normal time he arrives given that he left home at the time he used to.

Let the unknown speed be x miles/hour

Mathematically;

We shall be using the formula for time by dividing the distance by the speed

1/3 = 1/2/(2) + 1/2/x

1/3 = 1/4 + 1/2x

1/2x = 1/3 - 1/4

1/2x = (4-3)/12

1/2x = 1/12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6 miles per hour

A ship leaves port and travels due west for 30 knots, then changes course to S 30° W and travels 50 more knots. Find the bearing
leva [86]

Answer:

  232°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to find the desired direction. Perhaps the most straightforward is to add up the coordinates of the travel vectors.

  30∠270° +50∠210° = 30(cos(270°), sin(270°)) +50(cos(210°), sin(210°))

  = (0, -30) +(-43.301, -25) = (-43.301, -55)

Then the angle from port is ...

  arctan(-55/-43.301) ≈ 231.79° . . . . . . . 3rd quadrant angle

The bearing of the ship from port is about 232°.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

The term "knot" is conventionally used to indicate a measure of speed (nautical mile per hour), not distance. It is derived from the use of a knotted rope to estimate speed. Knots on the rope were typically 47 ft 3 inches apart. As a measure of distance 30 knots is about 1417.5 feet.
