Answer to Problem 1.51QP

Solution

The average speed of woman in miles per hour is 7.35miles/hour_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

Given

The distance is 26.2miles .

Time is 3 hours and 34 minutes.

The conversion of minutes to hours is done as,

1minute=160hours

Therefore, the conversion 34 minutes to hours is done as,

34minute=3460hours=0.56hours

Therefore, the time in hours is 3+0.56hours=3.56hours .

The average speed of woman in miles per hour is calculated by the formula,

Speed=DistanceTime

Substitute the value of distance and time in the above equation.

Speed=26.2miles3.56hours=7.35miles/hour_

Answer to Problem 1.51QP

Solution

The average speed of woman in meters per second is 3.29metres/second_ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

Given

The distance is 26.2miles .

Time is 3 hours and 34 minutes.

The conversion of miles to meters is done as,

1mile=1609.34metre

Therefore the conversion of 26.2miles to meters is done as,

26.2mile=26.2×1609.34metres=42164.708metres

The conversion of minutes to hours is done as,

1minute=160hours

Therefore, the conversion 34 minutes to hours is done as,

34minute=3460hours=0.56hours

Therefore, the time in hours is 3+0.56hours=3.56hours .

The conversion of hours to seconds is done as,

1hour=3600seconds

Therefore, the conversion 3.56hours to seconds is done as,

3.56hour=3.56×3600seconds=12816seconds

Therefore, the time in seconds is 12816seconds .

The average speed of woman in miles per hour is calculated by the formula,

Speed=DistanceTime

Substitute the value of distance and time in the above equation.

Speed=42164.708metres12816seconds=3.29metres/second_

The average speed of woman in meters per second is 3.29metres/second_ .

Conclusion

The average speed of woman in meters per second is 3.29metres/second_
