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?

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. To solve for t, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/quadratic.php?num=-120t%5E2-40t%2B1200%3D0&pl=Solve+Quadratic+Equation&hintnum=+0']we type this in our search engine[/URL] and we get: t = -10/3 or t = 3. Since time [I]cannot[/I] be negative, our final answer is: [B]t = 3[/B]

If you are running 6 miles per hour, then it takes you 10 minutes to run 1 mile. If you are running
If you are running 6 miles per hour, then it takes you 10 minutes to run 1 mile. If you are running 8 miles per hour, it takes you 7.5 minutes to run a mile. What does your speed have to be for your speed in miles per hour to be equal to your mile time in minutes? From above, we have: [LIST] [*]6mph x 10 minutes = 1 mile [*]8mph x 7.5 minutes = 1 mile [/LIST] Notice that mph x minutes = 60 since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour? So we have x mph x y minutes = 60. Since we want mph and y (minutes) = x (mph), we have x^2 = 60 x = sqrt(60) [B]x = 7.746 mph[/B]

In 1996 Ato Boldon of UCLA ran the 100-meter dash in 9.92 seconds. In 1969 John Carlos of San Jose State ran the 100-yard dash in 9.1 seconds. Which runner had the faster average speed? We [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/linearcon.php?quant=100&type=yard&pl=Calculate']convert yards to meters using our conversion calculator[/URL] and we get: 100 yards = 91.44 meters Now we set up a proportion of time per meter: [LIST] [*]Ato Boldon: 9.92/100 = 0.992 per meter [*]John Carlos: 9.1/91.44 = 0.995 per meter [/LIST] [B]Since Ato Boldon's time was [I]less per meter[/I], he had the faster average speed[/B]

In a hurricane the wind pressure varies directly as the square of the wind velocity. If a wind pressure is a measure of a hurricane's destruction capacity, what happens to this destructive power when the wind speed doubles? Let P = pressure and v = velocity (wind speed) We are given p = v^2 Double velocity, so we have a new pressure P2: P2 = (2v)^2 P2 = 4v^2 Compare the 2: p = v^2 p = 4v^2 Doubling the wind speed [B]quadruples, or 4 times[/B] the pressure.

In the year 1999, Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco set a new world record when he ran a mile in 3 minutes 43.13 seconds. What was his speed in miles per hour? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.) 3 minutes = 60 seconds per minute = 180 seconds 180 seconds + 43.13 seconds = 223.13 seconds 223.13 seconds/3600 seconds per hour = 1 mile/n miles Cross multiply: 223.13n = 3600 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=223.13n%3D3600&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get: n = [B]16.13 miles per hour[/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
