In this question, please use the assumption that 5 miles equals 8 kilometers.
You are driving on a two lane road that is 12 miles long. From the start, you have been stuck behind a car that is going 60 mph.
- How long (in minutes) will it take for you to reach the end of the road if you do not pass? _____minutes
- How fast must you travel (in mph) to reduce this time by one minute if you pass right at the start? _______mph
Homework Answers
Time taken to reach the end=
T= 12miles/60mph=0.2 hr or 12 min
If crossed at start and taken one minute less . Then speed
Distance/time= 12 miles/(11/60) hr=
65.45 mph or 104.72 km/hr
Add Answer to:
In this question, please use the assumption that 5 miles equals
8 kilometers.

Question 8 1 pts The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of 20.0 m/s. Initially, the car is traveling at a speed 25.0 m/s and its front bumper is a distance 24.0 m behind the truck's rear bumper. The car begins accelerating at a constant acceleration 0.6 m/s2, then pulls back into the truck's lane when the rear of the car is a distance 26.0 m ahead of the front...

You are driving on a straight road at exactly 21.8 miles per hour when you see a child run out in front of your car, chasing a ball. You push the brakes hard, which results in an acceleration of exactly -36000 miles/hour2. The child freezes in panic and you cannot swerve to avoid the child because there are cars parked on both sides of the street. How many feet does your car travel before it comes to a complete stop?...

You are driving at a velocity of 95 MPH (42.5 m/s) when you hear a police siren behind you. From your previous run-ins with the law, you know that at a particular point in the sound, the police sirens on the police cars in your town emit a frequency of 751.255 Hz. You hear the sound at a frequency of 752.551 Hz. How fast the the police car going (in m/s)? (Assume that the speed of sound is 343 m/s.)

Solve the following using the 5-step process. The speed of a freight train is 75 mph slower than the speed of a passenger train. The freight train travels 340 miles in the same time that it takes the passenger train to travel 490 miles. Find the speed of each train. Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number, fraction, or radical. When entering units, type without capitals e.g. mph, feet, meters, yards, etc. The freight train is travelling at Number...

A car cruises along a winding road 100 feet behind a slow moving tractor. The travel together at 30mph until they reach an empty straight away. Passing, the car accelerates at 25ft/sec^2 until it is 100 ft ahead of the tractor. a. Using the tractors position when the passing begins as reference, write expressions for the car and tractors positions as functions of time. b. Combine the two functions to obtain the relative position of the car with respect to...

2. A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0s. What is the magnitude of average acceleration in meters per second squared. 3. If you are driving 110km/h along a straight road and look to the side for 2.0s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period? 4. At highway speeds, a particular car is capable of accelerating at about 1.8m/s?. At this rate, how long does it take to accelerate from 80km/h to...
