A person walks 1/3 mile in 1/9 hour. At what speed is the person walking in miles per hour?

1 answer:

4 0

Speed (v) could be determined using this following formula
v = distance ÷ time

plug in the numbers
v = $\frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{9}$
v = $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{9}{1}$
v = 9/3
v = 3

The speed is 3 miles per hour

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

$y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400$

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

$0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0$

which solving for "t" becomes:

$16\,t^2-400 =0\\16\,t^2=400\\t^2=\frac{400}{16} \\t^2=25\\t= +/- 5\,\,sec$

So we adopt the positive answer (positive time) since the negative value has no physical meaning for this problem.

That is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Large companies in most cases, buy other smaller firms to benefit from their products or to snap up the talents they have in their system. There are also cases in which such acquisitions are made to destroy competition the smaller companies present.

This form of acquisition can be termed “killer acquisition as the larger group tends to terminate the projects of the smaller companies and shelve whatever competing innovative projects they have before they can hit the markets with them.

This type of scenario is known to be quite pervasive and could in some ways be very detrimental to the society. When competition is eliminated, people buy whatever they see with no alternatives around and in most cases, they pay exorbitant amount of money for telco products and services.
