Suppose the distance is D.
Then, Fritz takes 36 minutes = 36/60 hours so Fritz travels at D*60/36 = 5D/3 mph.
Then the train travels at 5D/3 + 48 mph
So the train takes D/(5D/3 + 48) hours = 20 minutes
Therefore
D/(5D/3 + 48) = 1/3
D = 1/3*(5D/3 + 48)
3D = (5D/3 + 48)
9D = 5D + 144
4D = 144
So D = 36 miles
At the start his distance from the lighthouse is 100/tan(60) = 86.6 m. After 2 minutes his distance from the lighthouse is 100/tan(45) = 70.7 m. He travels 15.9 m in 2 minutes = 7.9 m per minute.
The horizontal distance will be doubled.
When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft; the plane's angle of elevation as it rises would be 86 degrees.
It depends. Some people mistakenly refer to the size of a tornado as its length, while width is a more appropriate term. No tornado has ever come close to 10 miles wide. However, in terms of. Path length, or the distance a tornado travels, a tornado can easily go for 10 miles or more. The most destructive tornadoes often have path lengths of 20 to 50 miles.
Flight engineers need to calculate how they will get from one place to another. Sounds simple yet they have to take in account their speed, distance, and direction along with the speed and direction of wind. Wind plays an important role in how and when a plane will arrive where it is needed to. this dilemma is solved using vectors to create triangle using trig to solve. More study in the feild of physics and trig will provide more knowledge to this concept. Basically if there is a plane travels 234 mph, 45 degrees N of E, and there is a wind blowing due south at 20 mph. Trigonometry will help to solve for that third side of your triangle to solve where the plane will actually travel with the force of wind added on to its course.

average speed, given by distance over time.
16 km is not a speed (average or otherwise), it is a distance. It is therefore impossible to answer this question.
Speed = distance/time interval = 50m/25min = 2m/min
The average distance a wolf travels in a day is 10 to 15 miles, but sometimes they will travel 50 miles in a day.
The average distance traveled by a tornado is about 5 miles.
Colin travels at 40 mphDale travels at 46 mph.Dale has the fastest average by 6 mph.
Hints: speed = (distance) / (time) You need to convert 1 hour + 45 minutes into a single unit, such as hours or minutes.
determine the units of a caterpillar's speed if you measure the distance the caterpillar travels in centimeters and the time it takes to travels this distance in minute
distance traveled=60 km.time =45 minutes=45/60 hrs=0.75 hrsthen speed =distance traveled/total time=60/ 0.75 km/hr=80 km/hr
The answer is average speed.It's average speed because say for example you know your car is traveling 30 km in 20 minutes, you'd have to divide the total distance traveled by the total time.
The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case we with divide 8 kilometers by 10 minutes to get 0.8 km/minute. One hour is sixty minutes, so this works out to 48 km/hour.
