Velocity - math word problems - page 35 of 54
The velocity of an object is the time rate of change of its position. Velocity is a specification of an object's speed and direction of motion (e.g. 20 m/s to the south).In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position) - scalar.

- Temperature 5
The temperature outside starts at 0 Fahrenheit. Over time, the temperature changes at a rate of -0.6 Fahrenheit per hour. How long will it take for the temperature to reach -4.5 Fahrenheit?
- Overtaking
On the direct road, the passenger car overtakes the slower bus by starting to overtake 20 meters from the bus and then passing it ahead of it again 20 meters away. The car overtakes at a steady speed of 72 km/h, while the bus goes at a steady speed of 54
- Perpendicular direction
A speedboat moves relative to the water at a constant speed of 13 m/s. The speed of the water current in the river is 5 m/s a) At what angle concerning the water current must the boat sail to keep moving perpendicular to the banks of the river? b) At what
- Boat in the lake
A boatman walks along the ship's deck at a constant speed of 5 km/h in a direction that forms an angle of 60° with the direction of the ship's speed. The boat moves with respect to the lake's calm surface at a constant speed of 10 km/h. Determine graphica
- The swimmer
The swimmer swims at a constant speed of 0.85 m/s relative to water flow. The current speed in the river is 0.40 m/s, and the river width is 90 m. a) What is the resulting speed of the swimmer for the tree on the riverbank when the swimmer's motion is per
- Downstream 7002
A rowboat sailing down a river covers a distance of 120 m downstream in 12 s and upstream in 24 s. Find the magnitude of the ship's velocity relative to the water and the current in the river. Both speeds are constant.
- Perpendicular 7001
We throw a ball in an express car traveling at a constant speed of 24 m/s, whose initial speed relative to the vehicle is 7 m/s. What is the initial velocity of the ball relative to the surface of the ground if we throw it a) in the direction of travel b)
- Concerning 7000
Some points are at rest in a moving railway car concerning the earth's surface. However, some points move in the opposite direction to the direction of the moving car's speed. Which points are they?
- Relative 6999
The crawler tractor travels at a speed of 5 m/s. How fast are the top and bottom of the tractor belt relative to the road surface?
- Paratrooper
After the parachute is opened, the paratrooper drops to the ground at a constant speed of 2 m/s, with the sidewinding at a steady speed of 1.5 m/s. Find: a) the magnitude of its resulting velocity concerning the ground, b) the distance of his land from a
- Simultaneously 6997
Two boys train to run on a 400 m closed track. They both run simultaneously from the same starting track in the same direction. Boy A runs at a constant speed of 5 m/s, and Boy B runs at a constant speed of 3 m/s. At what time does Boy A overtake Boy B fo
- The position
The displacement function S=t³-2t²-4t-8 gives the position of a body at any time t. Find its acceleration at each instant time when the velocity is zero.
- Ping time
Calculate the theoretical ping time between Orlando and Shenzhen, which is 14102 km distant. Ping time measures the round-trip time for small messages sent from the origin to a destination that is echoed back to the source. The name comes from active sona
- Cross road
From the junction of two streets perpendicular to each other, two cyclists (each on another street) walked out. One ran at 18 km/h, and the second at 24 km/h. How are they away from a) 6 minutes, b) 15 minutes?
- Cyclist 9
A cyclist travels at a speed of 4.25 km per hour. At that rate, how far can he travel in 3.75 hours?
- Two people
Two straight lines cross at right angles. Two people start simultaneously at the point of intersection. John walks at the rate of 4 kph on one road, and Jenelyn walks at the rate of 8 kph on the other road. How long will it take for them to be 20√5 km apa
- Swimming 6649
How long will the swimming pool be 20 m long, 12 m wide, and 2 m deep? Two inlets are used for filling, each filling nine hectoliters of water per minute.
- Book reading
If we read the book at a speed of 15 pages a day, we read it three days before we read it at a speed of 10 pages per day. If I read six pages per day, how many days will I read the book?
- Kilometers 6535
Two cyclists rode from Prague to Poděbrady. Determine the average speed of each of them if you know that they traveled 56 km and that the slower one lost two kilometers to the faster one every hour so that he arrived in Poděbrady 30 minutes later.
