A 3 hour river cruise goes 15 km upstream and then back again. The river has a current of 2 km an hour. What is the boat's speed and how long was the upstream journey? [U]Set up the relationship of still water speed and downstream speed[/U] Speed down stream = Speed in still water + speed of the current Speed down stream = x+2 Therefore: Speed upstream =x - 2 Since distance = rate * time, we rearrange to get time = Distance/rate: 15/(x+ 2) + 15 /(x- 2) = 3 Multiply each side by 1/3 and we get: 5/(x + 2) + 5/(x - 2) = 1 Using a common denominator of (x + 2)(x - 2), we get: 5(x - 2)/(x + 2)(x - 2) + 5(x + 2)/(x + 2)(x - 2) (5x - 10 + 5x + 10)/5(x - 2)/(x + 2)(x - 2) 10x = (x+2)(x-2) We multiply through on the right side to get: 10x = x^2 - 4 Subtract 10x from each side: x^2 - 10x - 4 = 0 This is a quadratic equation.

Corvettes are known as sporty cars that can travel at high rates of speed. It is therefore assumed that they are much more dangerous than minivans. An owner of a Corvette points out that when statistics are studied, there are far more deaths each year from crashes that involve minivans than crashes that involve Corvettes, so Corvettes, so Corvettes must be safer than minivans. The statistics the Covert owner sites are correct. Is his logic faulty? Why or why not? [B]Faulty.[/B] There are hundreds of times more minivans on the road than Corvettes, so we expect more deaths even if they are the safest car on the road.

If the speed of an aeroplane is reduced by 40km/hr, it takes 20 minutes more to cover 1200m. Find the time taken by aeroplane to cover 1200m initially. We know from the distance formula (d) using rate (r) and time (t) that: d = rt Regular speed: 1200 = rt Divide each side by t, we get: r = 1200/t Reduced speed. 20 minutes = 60/20 = 1/3 of an hour. So we multiply 1,200 by 3 3600 = (r - 40)(t + 1/3) If we multiply 3 by (t + 1/3), we get: 3t + 1 So we have: 3600 = (r - 40)(3t + 1) Substitute r = 1200/t into the reduced speed equation: 3600 = (1200/t - 40)(3t + 1) Multiply through and we get: 3600 = 3600 - 120t + 1200/t - 40 Subtract 3,600 from each side 3600 - 3600 = 3600 - 3600 - 120t + 1200/t - 40 The 3600's cancel, so we get: - 120t + 1200/t - 40 = 0 Multiply each side by t: -120t^2 - 40t + 1200 = 0 We've got a quadratic equation.

Free Stopping-Braking Distance for a Car Calculator - Calculates the estimated stopping distance of a vehicle given a speed in miles per hour (mph)

Stuart traveled n miles at a speed of 72 miles per hour. How many seconds did it take Stuart to travel the n miles? Distance = Rate * Time Time = Distance/Rate Time = n/72 hours 3600 seconds per hour so we have: 3600n/72 [B]50n[/B]

The famous Concorde jet travelled at a speed of 2000km/h for two and a half hours. Do you think it could make it to its destination which is 5500km away on time Calculate the total distance traveled @ 2000km/h for 2.5 hours: d = rt d = 2000 * 2.5 d = 5,000 km The answer is [B]no, it cannot make the destination[/B].

When a dog noticed a fox, they were 60 meters apart. The dog immediately started to chase the fox at a speed of 750 meters per minute. The fox started to run away at a speed of 720 meters per minute. How soon will the dog catch the fox? The dog sits a position p. Distance = Rate x Time The dogs distance in minutes is D = 720t The fox sits at position p + 60 Distance = Rate x Time The fox's distance in minutes is D = 750t - 60 <-- Subtract 60 since the fox is already ahead 60 meters. We want to know when their distance (location) is the same. So we set both distance equations equal to each other: 720t = 750t - 60 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=720t%3D750t-60&pl=Solve']Using our equation calculator[/URL], we get [B]t = 2[/B]. Let's check our work: Dog's distance is 720(2) = 1440 Fox's distance is 750(2) - 60 = 1,440

William is traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour. How far will William travel in n hours? 50 miles per hour * n hour = [B]50n[/B] miles
