On a dark desert highway, a car leaves a gas station and heads straight for 10 km, heading exactly northeast.

(i.e., directed 45 degrees northward of due east). The car then turns onto a dirt road and drives completely

straight until it reaches a hotel located exactly 12 km north and 9.0 km east of the gas station. How far did the

car drive along the straight dirt road?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given that the car leaves the gas station and heads straight for 10 km, heading exactly northeast.

=====================

The car then turns onto a dirt road and drives completely straight until it reaches a hotel located exactly 12 km north and 9 km east of the gas station.

Let gives the length and direction of distance driven on the dirt road.

============

Resultant gives the distance from the gas station to the hotel.

exactly 12 km north and 9 km east

Mr. Cherry owns a gas station on a highway in Vermont. In the afternoon hours, there are, on average, 30 cars per hour passing by the gas station that would like to refuel. However, because there are several other gas stations with similar prices on the highway, potential customers are not willing to wait—if they see that all of the pumps are occupied, they continue on down the road. The gas station has three pumps that can be used for...

A one-pump gas station is always open and has two types of customers. A police car arrives every 30 minutes (exactly), with the first police car arriving at time 15 minutes. Regular (nonpolice) cars have exponential interarrival times with mean 5.6 minutes, with the first regular car arriving at time 0. Service times at the pump for all cars are exponential with mean 4.8 minutes. A car arriving to find the pump idle goes right into service, and regular cars...
