A car is traveling at 30 m/s ( approximately 67 mph) on I-95 highway. The driver applies the brakes and the car comes to a stop in 4.0 s . What is the car's acceleration, in m/s2? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed.
Mario rides his motorcycle in going to school. He drives at an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The distance between his house and the school is 15 kilometers. Every time he sees his best friend Jessica walking on the road, he invites her for a ride and lowers his speed. On the other hand, he increases his speed when he wakes up late for school. a) If x represents the time it takes Mario to drive to school with the given distance of 15 kilometers, how will you represent the relationship of his speed (y) versus the time (x)?
A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 1200-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 820-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 4.5 meters per second. Which of the following formulas expresses the distance between the tortoise and the hare in meters, d, in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start gun was fired? Od = 820 - 8t Od = 820 + 3.5t Od = 820 - 3.5t Od = 1200 3.5t Od = 1200 - (8t + 4.5t)
