Fluid Mechanics 4

1. A student completed a test with questions involving speed, rate, and time calculations for motion problems. 2. One question asked the student to calculate the speed of a train traveling 1,800 meters in 120 seconds. The student correctly calculated the speed as 15 m/s. 3. Another question asked how many more minutes it would take a bus traveling at 90 km/hr to make a trip compared to traveling at 150 km/hr for 12 hours. The student set up a rate-time-distance table and correctly calculated the additional time as 240 minutes.

Q @ A  
Activity 6
Motion
Solving Problems: Solve the following problems completely. Show your solution.

Answer: The time taken would have been 40 minutes longer.


1. A train is traveling on a straight section of track at constant speed. In 120
seconds it covers a distance of 1800 meters. What is the speed of the train?
Given: 1 800m  = d
                 120s  = t
 Unknown : Speed
 Formula : S = distance / time
 Solution : S = 1 800 m / 120 s 
 Answer : 15 m / s

2. A bus traveling at an average rate of 150 kilometers per hour made the trip to
town in 12 hours. If it had travelled at 90 kilometers per hour, how many more
minutes would it have taken to make the trip?
Solution:
Step 1: Set up a rtd table.

Cases Rate ( r ) Time Distance ( d )


(t)
Case 1
Case 2

Step 2: Fill in the table with information given in the question.

A bus traveling at an average rate of 150 kilometers per hour made the trip to
town in 12 hours. If it had travelled at 90 kilometers per hour, how many more
minutes would it have taken to make the trip?

Let t = time to make the trip in Case 2.

Cases Rate ( r ) Time Distance ( d )


(t)
Case 1 150 12
Case 2 90 t

Step 3: Fill in the values for d using the formula d = rt


Cases Rate ( r ) Time ( t ) Distance ( d )
Case 150 12 150 x 12 = 1,800
1
Case 90 t 90 t
2

Step 4: Since the distances travelled in both cases are the same, we get the
equation:

90t = 1,800

Isolate variable t

   T= 1,800/ 90  = 12 20/1 


Step 5: Beware - the question asked for “how many more minutes would it have taken
to make the trip”, so we need to deduct the original 12 hours taken.

               12 20/1  - 12 20/1  hours = 240 minutes

3.Mr. Roy B. Agbisit leaves Burbank at 10 a.m. and drives west on the Ventura
Freeway at an average speed of 100 miles per hour. Ms. Mina B. Domingo leaves
Burbank at 10:30 a.m. and drives west on the Ventura Freeway at an average speed
of 120 miles per hour. At what time will Ms. Mina B. Domingo overtake Mr. Roy B.
Agbisit, and how many miles will they each have gone?
Driver Rate(r) Time(t Distance (d)
)
Ms. Mina B. Domingo 120 t 120 t
mph
Mr. Roy B. Agbisit 100 T+ 1/2 100 (t+1/2)
mph

Because each travels the same distance,

120 t = 100 ( t + ½ )
120 t = 100 t + 25
20 t = 25
     t= 1.25
4.How fast in miles per hour must a car travel to go 1200 miles in 30 hours?
First, circle what you must find_how fast (rate). Now, using the equation d=rt, simply
plug in 1200 for distance and 30 for time.
D= rt
1200= r(30)
1200/30=r (30)/30
40=r       so, the rate is 40 miles per hour.

5.How long will it take a bus traveling 144 km/hr. to go 72 kms?


First circle what you're trying to find_how long will it take (time). Motion problems are
solved by using the equation.
Distance= rate of times time
D= rt
72 km = (144 km/hr) (t)
72/144= 144t/144
1/2= t            Therefore,it will take one-half hour for the bus to travel 72 km at 144
km/hr.
