1) All you need is the circumference, which is pi * diameter, to get the linear distance traveled per revolution.  Then just divide by 100,000 to get it in terms of km, and multiply it by 60 to get it in terms of "per hour".\n\n2) Are you sure you copied this one correctly? The way I figure it, AD = ½ of AB, BE is ½ of BC and CF is ½ of CA.  This means that the left side can be written "4(½AB + ½BC + ½CA).  You then factor out the ½, and you're left with 2(AB + BC + CA), which will always be less than 3(AB + BC + CA)...\n\n3) Start by graphing a right triangle on an X-Y graph with one of the non-right angles at the origin (0,0). Then figure the circle that is formed by the three points of the triangle. When you are finished, the hypotenuse should be the same as a diameter of the circle.\n\nI hope this helps.

1 mile = 1609.344 meters\n1hr = 3600 seconds\n\nmiles/hr * 1609.344 meters/mile * 1hr/3600 seconds\n(like units cancel out and you're left with meters/sec as your final units)\n\n\nSo if you wanted to convert 60 miles/hr to meters/sec the equation would yield:\n\n60miles/hr* 1609.344 meters/mile * 1hr/3600seconds\n= 26.822 meters/second

One minute of latitude is very close to one nautical mile or 1852 metres.\nTherefore:\n1 degree = 111,120 meters = 36,4562 feet\n1 minute = 1852 meters = 6,076 feet\n1 second = 30 meters = 101 feet

We have a formula:\nSpeed = Distance / Time\nhere Time= Distance /Speed.==D/S\nD=100km in both cases\nS1= 125km/hr; S2= 80km/hr\n\nT1=D/S1==100/125 hrs === 4/5hrs===4/5*60mins= 48mins\nT2=D/S2==100/80 hrs ===5/4 hrs ===5/4*60 mins= 75mins\n\nTime saved = T2-T1==75-48=27 mins.\n\nIs this clear buddy

About 3.1 miles, but you can look this up easily in Google. Just type "5 km in miles".  You can do all sorts of conversions this way.

Step one: Get a calculator.\nStep two: Divide 3.56 by 26.\nStep three: Multiply the answer by 60.\nStep 4: Get 8.2153....miles per hour as your answer.

for the first hour:\nJose travels 5 miles\nMario travels 7 miles\nMelanie travels 9 miles\n\nfor the second hour:\nJose travels 10 miles\nMario travels 14 miles\nMelanie travels 18 miles\n\nJose   (1,5) and (2, 10) are your points\n(10 - 5)/(2-1) = 5 mph\nMario  (1, 7) and (2, 14)\n(14-7)/(2-1) = 7 mph\nMelanie (1,9) and (2, 18)\n(18-9)/(2-1) = 9 mph\n\nANSWERS\nJose\n    5 mph\nMario\n     7 mph\nMelanie\n    9 mph

Google has a calculator for this sort of thing.\n\nAll you have to do is type: 1 nautical mile in kilometers\n\nand you'll get: 1 nautical mile = 1.85200 kilometers\n\n\nTry it!\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hs=YBc&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=1+nautical+mile+in+kilometers&btnG=Search

1 nautical mile = 1852 meters\n\n1000 meters = 1 kilometer\n\n1852 meters = 1,852 kilometers\n\none thing more: 10 cable = 1 nm -> 1 cable = 185,2 meters

One nautical mile (at sea) is 6076 feet.  A land mile is 5280 feet.  A knot is one nautical mile per hour, or 6086/5280 = 1.15 mi/hr.  The expression comes from the olden days practice of using a rope with knots every 6076 feet to measure speed at sea.  A buoy would be put in the water off the stern of the boat, and the rope paid out and timed.  When the knot passted over the stern, that was one nautical mile, and the speed could then be calculated using the time.

A nautical mile, whether on land or at sea, is set equal to a minute of latitude (there are 60 minutes in a degree). It is used at sea because it makes it easier to measure changes in latitude. It is roughly equal to 1.152 miles.

Remember that you have to do the conversion from cm to km (1m/100cm)*(1km/1000m) and from year to hours (365days/1year)*(1day/24hrs).  Kilometers should end up on top of the fraction and hours on the bottom.

depends what you mean by normal, and ship..........most merchant ships going about their business do 18-25 knots \n( nautical miles per hour)..a cruise ship might loaf along at 14 but be capable of 25......a warship will cruise at typically 15 knots for gretest possible range, but can do 35-40......\n\nand for conversions, see the previous question in "nautical"

Average rate per hour = total distance / total time\n=( x + x )/ total time          (1)\nTime required to travel x distance at the speed of 10 miles\nper hour = x / 10 hours.\nTime required to travel x distance at the speed of 8 miles\nper hour = x / 8 hours.\nSo the total time is\n=(x / 10) + (x / 8)\n=18x/80 \n=\nPutiing this value in the denominator of (1)\nWe get\nAverage rate per hour = total distance / total time\n= 2x/[18x/80]\n=80/9\n=8.88\n=8.9 miles/hr\n\n( In general if the speeds are 'a' & 'b', the the average \nis given by their harmonic mean viz. 2*a*b/(a+b) )
