Given that, the time (t) taken to complete a journey varies directly as the distance (d) and inversely as the average speed (s).

Hence, we can set an equation as following:

t = k\frac{d}{s}

Other information is that it takes 3 hours to complete a 280km trip at 80km/h.

So, plug in t = 3, d = 280 and s = 80 in the above equation to get the value of k. Therefore,

$3=k \frac{280}{80} [/tex3 = k* 3.5[tex] \frac{3}{3.5} =\frac{k*3.5}{3.5}$ Divide each sides by 3.5.

k = 0.857142857

So, k = 0.857

Now we need to find the time when d= 546 and s = 65. So, plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of t. Hence,

t = 0.857*\frac{546}{65}

= 0.857 * 8.4

= 7.1988

= 7 hours ( Rounded to nearest integer).

So, it will take 7 hours.

Hope this helps you!

Evaluate the surface integral S F · dS for the given vector field F and the oriented surface S. In other words, find the flux of

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use the following two theorems/definitions:

- Given a vector field F of the form (P(x,y,z),Q(x,y,z),W(x,y,z)) then the divergence of F denoted by $\nabla \cdot F = \frac{\partial P}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial Q}{\partial y}}+\frac{\partial W}{\partial z}$

- (Gauss' theorem)Given a closed surface S, the following applies

$\int_{S} F\cdot \vec{n} dS = \int_{V} \nabla \cdot F dV$

where n is the normal vector pointing outward of the surface and V is the volume bounded by the surface S.

Let us, in our case, calculate the divergence of the given field. We have that

$\nabla \cdot F = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(x)+\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(2y)+ \frac{\partial}{\partial z}(5z) = 1+2+5 = 8$

Hence, by the Gauss theorem we have that

$\int_{S} F\cdot \vec{n} dS = \int_{V} 8 dV = 8\cdot\text{Volume of V}$

So, we must calculate the volume V bounded by the cube S.

We know that the vertices are located on the given points. We must determine the lenght of the side of the cube. To do so, we will take two vertices that are on the some side and whose coordinates differ in only one coordinate. Then, we will calculate the distance between the vertices and that is the lenght of the side.

Take the vertices (1,1,1) and (1,1-1). The distance between them is given by

$\sqrt[]{(1-1)^2+(1-1)^2+(1-(-1)^2} = \sqrt[]{4} = 2$ .
