Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km
Explanation:
We can consider the next diagram
B2------15km/h------->Dock
|
|
B1 at 20km/h
|
|
V
So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.
Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.
Answer:
The thickness of the oil slick is 
Explanation:
Given that,
Index of refraction = 1.28
Wave length = 500 nm
Order m = 1
We need to calculate the thickness of oil slick
Using formula of thickness
Where, n = Index of refraction
t = thickness
= wavelength
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The thickness of the oil slick is
Answer:
Explanation:
Distance is the product of speed and time.
The speed of the car is 75 kilometers per hour. It traveled for 5.5 hours.
Substitute the values into the formula.
Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.
The car travelled <u>412.5 kilometers.</u>
Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.
