Aboat leaves a dock at 7: 00 pm and travels due south at a speed of 20 km/h. another boat has been heading due east at 15 km/h and reaches the same dock at 8: 00 pm. how many minutes after 7: 00 pm were the two boats closest together? (round your answer to the nearest minute.) min

22 minutes after 7:00 P.M. they will be closest.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat heading south travelling for t hours at the rate of 20 km/h, so the distance x = 20t

The another boat will reach the dock after travelling another 1-t hours at the rate of 15 km/h, so the distance =

y = 15 - 15t

D = d²  = x² + y²

D = (20t)² + (15 - 15t)²

dD/dt = -2(15² )( 1-t ) +2 × 20² × t

dD/dt = 2 (15² + 20²) × t -2 ( 15 )² = 0

t =

t = 0.36 hours = 0.36 × 60 = 21.6 minutes ≈ 22 minutes

Therefore, the distance is minimized 22 minutes after 7 pm.

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
