An aircraft carrier left Port 35 traveling north five hours before a container ship. The container ship traveled in the opposite

direction going 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier for seven hours after which time the ships were 303 km apart. What was the aircraft carrier's speed?

Answer:

The aircraft carrier's speed was 13 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given in the question are;

Time of departure of the aircraft carrier = 5 hours before the container ship

Speed of the container ship = 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier

Distance between the two ships after 7 hours = 303 km

Let the speed of the aircraft carrier be Z

∴ The speed of the container ship = Z + 8

Since the aircraft carrier left port 35 travelling North 5 hours earlier we have;

Total time of travel of the aircraft carrier at the time of measurement of the distance between the two ships = 5 + 7 = 12 hours

Therefore, since both ships are moving in opposite direction on the same line path, we have;

303 = 12×Z + 7 × (Z + 8) = 12·Z + 7·Z + 56

19·Z = 303 - 56 = 247

∴ Z = 247/19 = 13 km/h

Hence, the aircraft carrier's speed was 13 km/h.

Answer:

21.75 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the aircraft carrier speed 'x', so the speed of the container ship is 'x+8'

The distance travelled can be found with the product of the speed and the time travelled: d = v * t

The aircraft carrier travelled five hours, so the distance travelled is:

d1 = x * 5 = 5x

Then, the container ship travelled seven hours, so the distance travelled is:

d2 = (x+8)*7 = 7x + 42

As they travelled in opposite directions, the distance between then is the sum of these distances, and it is equal 303 km, so we have that:

d1 + d2 = 303

5x + 7x + 42 = 303

12x = 261

x = 21.75 km/h

Which of the following is a solution to 2cos x + 1 = 0? 60° 120° 210° 300°
klasskru [66]
Rewrite   <span>2cos x + 1 = 0    as:

2 cos x = -1, and then cos x = -1/2

x must be in Quadrant II or Quadrant III, since the adj. side is negative.

Note that the angle 120 has adj. side -1 and hyp 2.  So 120 degrees is one solution.  

Now what about a possible 2nd solution, to be found in Quadrant III?  That would be -120 degrees, which has the same terminal line as does 240 degrees.

No soap.

So, the solution is 120 degrees.</span>

The lengths of one-year-old baby girls can be described using a normal distribution with a mean of 29 inches and a standard devi
crimeas [40]

The '68-95-99.7' rule says

-About 68% of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean.

-About 95% of the values fall within two standard deviations from the mean.

-Almost all of the values — about 99.7% — fall within three standard deviations from the mean.

Here 31.4=29+2*1.2 26.6=29-2*1.2

Therefore, the probability

P(26.6

The required probability

P(L
