A mountain goat is climbing to the top of a large Cliff. The clip is 50 feet higher than it starting point if it takes to go 22 minutes
To find the speed at which the mountain goat is climbing, we need to divide the distance it travels by the time it takes.
Since the cliff is 50 feet higher than its starting point, the distance the mountain goat climbs is 50 feet.
Given that the mountain goat takes 22 minutes to climb the cliff, the time is expressed as 22/60 = 11/30 hours.
Therefore, the speed at which the mountain goat is climbing is: 50 feet / (11/30) hours = (50 * 30) / 11 = 1500/11 feet per hour.
Hence, the mountain goat is climbing at approximately 136.36 feet per hour (rounded to two decimal places).
To calculate the mountain goat's climbing speed, we first need to find the rate at which it climbs. We can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Given that the cliff is 50 feet higher than the starting point, the distance is 50 feet. The time it takes to climb to the top is 22 minutes. Let's plug these values into the formula:
50 feet = Speed x 22 minutes
To find the climbing speed, we need to rearrange the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Now let's calculate the speed:
Speed = 2.27 feet per minute (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the mountain goat climbs at a speed of approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
