A biker travels the 120 mi from New York , NY to Wilmington, DE in 8 hours. A bus, a truck, and a rider on a horse take the same

route as the biker. At what speed does each of them travel if it takes them 2 hours, 2.5 hours, and 18.75 hours respectively to reach Wilmington? Do the speed and the time vary directly or inversely proportional when the same distance is traveled? Explain why.

Answer:

First, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

We know that the distance is 120mi.

A) For the biker we know that:

Time  = 8hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/8h = 15 mi/h.

B) For the bus we know that:

Time = 2 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/2h = 60 mi/h.

C) For the truck we know that:

Time = 2.5 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/2.5h = 48 mi/h.

D) For the rider on a horse we know that:

Time = 18.75 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/18.75h = 6.4 mi/h.

E) The equation for the speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time.

You can see that time is in the denominator, this means that if for a fixed distance, the time increases, then the denominator increases, which would imply that the speed decreases.

Then the speed is inversely proportional to the time when the distance is fixed.

Find sin 2a and cot 2a:
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

sin(2\alpha )=2(\frac{5}{12})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{10}{13}\\cot(2\alpha ) = \frac{16511}{18720}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{if } cos(\alpha)=\frac{12}{13}\\\text{That must mean we have a triangle with base 12, and hypotenuse 13.}\\\text{Using Pythagoras, we can determine the base of the triangle must be 5.}\\a^2+b^2=c^2 \text{, where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the two other sides.}\\c^2-b^2=a^2\\\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\\\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=\sqrt{169-144}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\text{Therefore, }sin(\alpha) = \frac{5}{12}\\sin(2\alpha)=2sin(\alpha )cos(\alpha)\\\text{(From double angle formulae identities)}\\

sin(2\alpha )=2(\frac{5}{12})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{10}{13}\\cos(2\alpha )=cos^2(\alpha)-sin^2(\alpha)\\cos(2\alpha )=(\frac{12}{13})^2-(\frac{5}{12})^2=\frac{16511}{24336}\\cot(2\alpha)=\frac{cos(2\alpha)}{sin(2\alpha)}=\frac{\frac{16511}{24336}}{\frac{10}{13}}=\frac{16511}{18720}
