A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile/hour. How fast is a boat going 8 knots going in feet/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1  nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

 8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

               =[tex]8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}[/tex]

               = 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

The speed of the boat will be    [tex]V=13.50\dfrac{ft}{sec}[/tex]

What will be the speed of the boat?

It is given that

nautical mile   6076 feet

1 knot= 1 nautical mile per hour

[tex]\rm 1\ knot = 6076\dfrac{ft}{hr}[/tex]

Speed of the boat is = 8 knots

[tex]\rm 8 \ knot = 8\ nautical \dfrac{Mile }{Hour}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{8 \times 6076\tines 1}{60\times 60}[/tex]

[tex]\rm 8 \ k not= 13.50\dfrac{ft}{s}[/tex]

Thus  The speed of the boat will be    [tex]V=13.50\dfrac{ft}{sec}[/tex]
