During a race, Marta bicycled 12 mi and ran 4 mi in a total of 1 hr 20 min 4 3 hr . In another race, she bicycled 21 mi and ran 3 mi in 1 hr 40 min 5 3 hr . Determine the speed at which she bicycles and the speed at which she runs. Assume that her bicycling speed was the same in each race and that her running speed was the same in each race.

Solution Summary: The author calculates the speed at which Marta cycles and runs based on her bicycling speed and her running speed.
During a race, Marta bicycled 12 mi and ran 4 mi in a total of

Determine the speed at which she bicycles and the speed at which she runs. Assume that her bicycling speed was the same in each race and that her running speed was the same in each race.
A body of mass m at the top of a 100 m high tower is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. Assume that the air resistance FD acting on the body is proportional to the velocity V, so that FD=kV. Taking g = 9.75 m/s2 and k/m = 5 s, determine: a) what height the body will reach at the top of the tower, b) how long it will take the body to touch the ground, and c) the velocity of the body when it touches the ground.
A chemical reaction involving the interaction of two substances A and B to form a new compound X is called a second order reaction. In such cases it is observed that the rate of reaction (or the rate at which the new compound is formed) is proportional to the product of the remaining amounts of the two original substances. If a molecule of A and a molecule of B combine to form a molecule of X (i.e., the reaction equation is A + B ⮕ X), then the differential equation describing this specific reaction can be expressed as:
dx/dt = k(a-x)(b-x)
where k is a positive constant, a and b are the initial concentrations of the reactants A and B, respectively, and x(t) is the concentration of the new compound at any time t. Assuming that no amount of compound X is present at the start, obtain a relationship for x(t). What happens when t ⮕∞?
