Joe is trying to soup up his dragster. He knows that the time needed for the car to go from 0 to 100 miles per hour varies inver

sely with the car's horsepower. At 200 horsepower, the car can go from 0 to 100 mph in 12 seconds. How long should the car take if he can increase the horsepower to 240 hp?.

Translating the first sentence into equation we get, t = k(1/h) where t is time in seconds, k is the constant and h is the horsepower. Substituting the values in the equation we have, 12s = k(1/200) we have a k = 2400 seconds – hp. To get the time at 240 hp we use the equation above and the constant, we get, t = (2400 seconds-hp)(1/240hp) t = 10seconds.

A small boat sailed straight north out of a harbor in strong east wind (blowing from west to east). After sailing for 120 minute
Amiraneli [1.4K]

it can be said that  the speed of the east wind is

v=0.3608m/s

From the question we are told

A small boat sailed <u>straight </u>north out of a harbor in <em>strong </em>east wind (blowing from west to east).

After sailing for 120 minutes, it ended up hitting a buoy 60^\circ60 ∘ to the north-east of the harbor. If the straight-line distance between the buoy and the harbor is 3 km,

  • what is the speed of the east wind?.

<h3> the speed of the east wind</h3>

Generally the equation for the distance  is mathematically given as

BA=3000sin60

BA=2598.07m

Therefore

the speed of the east wind

V_w=\frac{BA}{120*60}\\\\V_w=\frac{2598.07}{120*60}

v=0.3608

A 1400-kg car traveling east at 25m/s collides with a 1800-kg car traveling at a speed of 20m/s in a direction that makes angle
julia-pushkina [17]
M1*V1 + M2*V2 = M1*V + M2*V.
1400*25 + 1800*20[180+40]=1400*V+1800*V.
Divide both sides by 100:
14*25 + 18*20[220o] = 14V + 18V.
350 + 360[220o] = 32V.
350 - 276-231i = 32V.
74 - 231i = 32V.
242.6[-72.2o] = 32V.
V = 7.6m/s[-72.2o]=7.6m/s[72o] S. of E.
