Speed is the rate of distance over time.

<em>The speed of the boat is 13mph south-west</em>

Given

<em /> $v_2 = 5mph$ <em> -- south</em>

<em />

The speed is illustrated with the attached image

Because both speeds act at a diagonal, the speed (v) of the boat is calculated using Pythagoras theorem as follows:

$v^2 = 12^2 + 5^2$

$v^2 = 144 + 25$

$v^2 = 169$

Take square root

$v = \sqrt{169$

$v = 13$

<em />

<em>Hence, the speed of the boat is 13mph south-west</em>

T = 12 min, T o = 80° C, T s = 50 °C, T ( 12 ) = 60° C
60 = 50 + ( 80 - 50 ) · e^(-12k)
10 = 30 · e^(-12k)
e^(-12k) = 0.3333...
ln ( 0.333.. ) = - 12 k
- 12 k = - 1.1
k = ( - 1.1 ) : ( - 12 ) = 0.0916
Answer: D ) 0.0916
