Answer

given,

tourist travels = 1500 miles

second plane averages 50 miles per hour faster than the first plane.

x = y + 50

The tourist uses the slower plane for the first 500 and the faster plane for the next 1000 miles.

total flying time = 6.5 hours

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{x} = 6.5

\dfrac{500}{y} + \dfrac{1000}{y + 50} = 6.5

\dfrac{500(50 + y)+ 1000 y}{y(y + 50)} = 6.5

25000 + 600 y = 6.5 y^2 + 325 y

6.5 y^2 - 275 y - 25000 = 0

on solving equation

y = 86.67 mile/hr

x = 86.67 + 50

x = 136.67 mile/hr

What was the hiker's total displacement?<br>A.24 km  B.4 km north  C.14 km northeast  D.0 km
kipiarov [429]
We can see it as two movements: one on the north-south axis and one on the west-east axis.

On the north-south Axis, the hiker went 8 km north and 4 km south, so in total the hiker went 4 km north (we can subtract one for the other and the direction remains that which was bigger)

On the west-easth Axis, the hiker went 6 km east and 6 km west, so in total the hiker  didn't move on this axis! or, he/she moved but then "came back"

So in total, the hiker only moved4 km north - answer B.
