D=RT Motion problems involve distance, time and rate. The equation that links these concepts is called The Distance Formula:
D=RT Wind A jet airplane flies 2000 miles with the wind in four hours. The return trip against the same takes 5 hours. Find the speed of the jet and the speed of the wind. #1 t = 4 hours d = 2000 miles
D=RT Wind A jet airplane flies 2000 miles with the wind in four hours. The return trip against the same takes 5 hours. Find the speed of the jet and the speed of the wind. #1 w = speed of wind (mph) j = speed of the jet (mph) t = 4 hours d = 2000 miles d = 2000 miles t = 5 hours
D=RT A jet airplane flies 2000 miles with the wind in four hours. The return trip against the same takes 5 hours. Find the speed of the jet and the speed of the wind. #1 w = speed of wind (mph) j = speed of the jet (mph) With the wind Against the wind
D=RT A jet airplane flies 2000 miles with the wind in four hours. The return trip against the same takes 5 hours. Find the speed of the jet and the speed of the wind. #1 w = speed of wind (mph) j = speed of the jet (mph) Speed of the jet = 450 mph Speed of the wind = 50 mph
D=RT Ben paddles his kayak 8 miles upstream in 4 hours. He turns around and paddles back downstream to his starting point in just 2 hours. What is the speed of the current? #2 c = speed of the current (mph) b = speed that Ben can paddle in still water (mph). Upstream Downstream
D=RT Ben paddles his kayak 8 miles upstream in 4 hours. He turns around and paddles back downstream to his starting point in just 2 hours. What is the speed of the current? #2 c = speed of the current (mph) b = speed that Ben can paddle in still water (mph). The current is 1 mph
