Question

If a peregrine falcon dove at its maximum speed for half a mile to catch prey, how many seconds would the dive take? (Round your answer to the nearest second.)

hintHint:

Hint:
  • We know that text  speed  end text equals fraction numerator text  dis  end text tan invisible function application c e over denominator text  time  end text end fraction.

The correct answer is: 9 second


    Explanation:
    • We have given the maximum speed of peregrine falcon is 200 miles per hour
    • We have to find how much it take to catch a prey if it is half mile away.
    Step 1 of 1:
    We have given the maximum speed of peregrine falcon is 200 miles per hour
    We know that
    text  speed  end text equals fraction numerator text  dis  end text tan invisible function application c e over denominator text  time  end text end fraction
    200 equals fraction numerator 0.5 over denominator t end fraction
    t equals fraction numerator 0.5 over denominator 200 end fraction text  hour  end text
    equals 0.0025 text  hour  end text
    Now convert this time in second
    So,
    equals 0.0025 text  hour  end text
    equals 0.0025 cross times 3600 sec
    equals 9 sec text ond  end text
    Hence, Total time it take to catch a prey is 9 second.

    The concepts of speed, time, and distance are frequently used in questions about motion in a straight line, circular motion, boats and streams, races, clocks, and so on. Therefore, aspirants should comprehend the interdependence of speed, distance, and time.
    Relationship between speed, time, and distance
    • Speed = Distance/Time: This indicates how slowly or quickly an object moves. It shows the distance traveled divided by the time taken to cover the distance.
    Distance is directly proportional to speed, and time is inversely proportional to speed.
    • Distance = Speed x Time, and
    • Time = Distance / Speed; as speed increases, the time taken will decrease, and vice versa.
    Any basic problem can be solved using these formulas. However, the correct usage of units is also important while using formulas.

    Which of the following is the graph of the equation y = 3x - 2 in the x y-plane?

    Note:
    We can also solve this question by eliminating the options.
    The first option A) is not correct because the line passes through the origin and so it must satisfy the equation, which is not true as 0not equal to- 2
    Then C) is not correct as the line passes through (0, -3), but this point does not satisfy the equation. Similarly, for option D) the point (0, 2) lies on the graph, but does not satisfy the equation.

    Keith modeled the growth over several hundred years of a tree population by estimating the number of the trees' pollen grains per square centimeter that were deposited each year within layers of a lake's sediment. He estimated there were 310 pollen grains per square centimeter the first year the grains were deposited, with a 1%  annual increase in the number of grains per square centimeter thereafter. Which of the following functions models p(t), the number of pollen grains per square centimeter t years after the first year the grains were deposited?

    According to the system of equations above, what is the value of X ?

    Note:
    Here we find the value of y from equation (1) and use it in equation (2).
    We could do it the other way and receive the same answer, that is, if we find the value of y from equation (2) and use it in equation (1) to find x, we get the same value of x as found in the solution above.
