a boat is going 144 miles upstream on a river. the speed of the boat in still water is 60 miles per hour. the speed of the river

current is 80% less than the speed of the boat in still water. how long does the journey take?( in hours)

Answer:

Let  b  =  rate of the boat.

Let  r  =  rate of the river.

The rate going downstream is  b + r.

The rate going upstream is  b - r.

rate x time  =  distance

4(b + r)  =  144     --->     b + r  =  36     [divide both sides by 4]

9(b - r)  =  144      --->     b - r  =  16      [divide both sides by 9]

Add town:                          2b  =  52  

Divide by :                           b  =  26  mi/hr

                                           r  =  10  mi/hr

6. Calculate the value of tan (48°19'23").
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

C. 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60' (minutes) in a degree and 60" in a minute meaning that we have (60×60) seconds in a degree.

Therefore to convert seconds to degrees we divide by 3600. and minutes to degrees we divide by 60.

The angle 48°19'23'' can be converted into a decimal as follows

48°+(19/60+23/3600)°

=48.323°

Tan 48.323= 1.12

Sally is a sales manager.She makes $73,000 a year.Sally has worked hard all year and receives a 6% raise.How much will sally mak
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$77,380

Step-by-step explanation:

If she gets a 6% raise next year she will make 106% of what she makes this year.  

106% is 1.06 as a decimal.  Multiply her salary by 1.06 to find out how much she will make next year...

$73,000(1.06) = $77,380

Please answer the question below (ABOUT VECTORS AND MAGNITUDE)
coldgirl [10]

(a) <em>v</em> appears to have a fixed direction along the positive <em>x</em>-axis. If ||<em>u</em>|| = 150 N, ||<em>v</em>|| = 220 N, then when <em>θ</em> = 30°, you have

<em>u</em> = (150 N) (cos(30°) <em>i</em> + sin(30°) <em>j</em> ) ≈ (129.904 <em>i</em> + 75 <em>j</em> ) N

<em>v</em> = (220 N) (cos(0°) <em>i</em> + sin(0°) <em>j</em> ) = (220 <em>i</em> ) N

(<em>i</em> and <em>j</em> are the unit vectors in the positive <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> directions)

and their sum is

<em>u</em> + <em>v</em> ≈ (349.904 <em>i</em> + 75 <em>j</em> ) N

with magnitude

||<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>|| ≈ √((349.904)² + (75)²) N ≈ 357.851 N ≈ 357.9 N

and at angle <em>φ</em> made with the positive <em>x</em>-axis such that

tan(<em>φ</em>) ≈ (75 N) / (349.904 N)   →   <em>φ</em> ≈ 12.098° ≈ 12.1°

(b) Letting <em>θ</em> vary from 0° to 180° would make <em>v</em> a function of <em>θ</em> :

<em>u</em> = (150 N) (cos(<em>θ</em>) <em>i</em> + sin(<em>θ</em>) <em>j</em> ) = (150 cos(<em>θ</em>) <em>i</em> + 150 sin(<em>θ</em>) <em>j</em> ) N

Then

<em>u</em> + <em>v</em> = ((220 + 150 cos(<em>θ</em>)) <em>i</em> + (150 sin(<em>θ</em>)) <em>j</em> ) N

→   <em>M</em> = ||<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>|| = √((220 + 150 cos(<em>θ</em>))² + (150 sin(<em>θ</em>))²) N

<em>M</em> = √(48,400 + 66,000 cos(<em>θ</em>) + 22,500 cos²(<em>θ</em>) + 22,500 sin²(<em>θ</em>)) N

<em>M</em> = 10 √(709 + 660 cos(<em>θ</em>)) N

(c) As a function of <em>θ</em>, <em>u</em> + <em>v</em> makes an angle <em>α</em> with the positive <em>x</em>-axis such that

tan(<em>α</em>) = (150 sin(<em>θ</em>) / (220 + 150 cos(<em>θ</em>))

→   <em>α</em> = tan⁻¹((15 sin(<em>θ</em>) / (22 + 15 cos(<em>θ</em>)))

(d) Filling in the table is just a matter of evaluating <em>M</em> and <em>α</em> for each of the given angles <em>θ</em>. For example, when <em>θ</em> = 0°,

<em>M</em> = 10 √(709 + 660 cos(0°)) N = 370 N

<em>α</em> = tan⁻¹((15 sin(0°) / (22 + 15 cos(0°))) = 0°

When <em>θ</em> = 30°, you get the same result as in part (a).

When <em>θ</em> = 60°,

<em>M</em> = 10 √(709 + 660 cos(60°)) N ≈ 323.3 N

<em>α</em> = tan⁻¹((15 sin(60°) / (22 + 15 cos(60°))) = 23.8°

and so on.
