Answer:

15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the motorcycle goes at a speed of 40 km/hr.

The question asks for how long it would take to travel 10 km.

Well, there are 60 minutes in an hour, since we will be translating into minutes.

Also, 10 km is 1/4 of 40 km, so it would make sense that the time length would be 1/4 of an hour as well.

1/4 of 60 minutes is 15 minutes. So it takes 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.

Now, if all this wordy stuff is too much to comprehend, you can also solve using proportional relationships.

$\frac{40km}{60min}=\frac{10km}{xmin}$

Now cross multiply:

$40km*xmin=10km*60min\\40x=600$

Divide both sides by 40:

$\frac{40x}{40}=\frac{600}{40}\\x=15$

Again, this shows that it wouls take 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 510 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate

sdas [7]

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

Divide both sides by 2

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h$

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

$y = 2mi$

Apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

$x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2$

$x^2 + 1 = 4$

$x^2 = 4-1$

$x^2 = 3$

$x = \sqrt 3$

So, the expression becomes:

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 255 = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 442$

<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>
