Answer: 27465 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure, let us use cosine formula to calculate the resultant displacement.
B^2 = C^2 + A^2 - 2(A)(C) cosØ
Where C = 580km
A = 360 km
Ø = 153 degree
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
B^2 = 580^2 + 360^2 - 2(360)(580)cos153
B^2 = 466000 - ( - 372084.32 )
B^2 = 466000 + 372084.32
B^2 = 838084.32
Square root both sides
B = 915.5 km
You are told to use a scale of 1 cm to 50 km.
Therefore, B = 915.5/50 = 18.3 cm
The time given are: 09:23 and 09:25.
The time difference = 25 - 23 = 2 minute.
Convert minutes to hours
2 minute = 2/60 = 1/30 hours
Speed = distance/time
Speed = 915.5 ÷ 1/30
Speed = 915.5 × 30
Speed = 27465 km/h
Or
Convert 2 minute to second
2 minute = 2 × 60 = 120 seconds
Speed = distance/time
Speed = 18.3/120
Speed = 0. 1525 cm/s
