  10. Sand castle
    piesokHrad Tim and Tom built a sand castle and embellished it with a flag. Half the pole with the flag plunged into the castle. The highest point of the pole was 80 cm above the ground, its lowest point 20 cm above the ground. How high was the sand castle?
  11. Depth angle
    cliff From a cliff of 150 meters high, we can see the ship at a depth angle of 9° at sea. How far is the ship from the cliff?
  12. Wave parameters
    frequency-and-wavelength Calculate the speed of a wave if the frequency is 336 Hz and the wavelength is 10 m.
  13. Cheetah vs antelope
    motion2 When the cheetah began chasing the antelope, the distance between them was 120 meters. Although the antelope was running at 72km/h, the cheetah caught up with it in 12 seconds. What speed was the cheetah running?
  14. Bike ride
    car Marek rode a bike ride. In an hour, John followed him on the same route by car, at an average speed of 72 km/h, and in 20 minutes he drove him. Will he determine the length of the way that Marek took before John caught up with him, and at what speed did Ma
  15. Cross road
