You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 270 km on an expressway. The interview is at 11:15 a.m. You plan to drive at 100 km/h, so you leave at 8:00 a.m. to allow some extra time. You drive at that speed for the first 120 km, but then construction work forces you to slow to 44.0 km/h for 43.0 km. What would be the least speed needed for the rest of the trip to arrive in time for the interview?
You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 292 km on an expressway. The interview is at 11:15 A.M. You plan to drive at around 100 km/h, so you leave at 8:00 A.M. to allow
some extra time. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km, but then construction work forces you to slow to 45 km/h for 40 km. What would be the least speed needed for the rest of the trip to
arrive in time for the interview?

- Gaby and her cousin, Fiona, live 45 km apart. Every day, they drive by one another to get to work. Gaby leaves home at 7:00 a.m. and drives at the road speed of 60 km/h. Fiona, however, always leaves home 20 min later and therefore speeds by 10 km/h. Approximately what time will Gaby meet Fiona on the road?arrow_forwardYou are driving your car downtown from the beach, but you realize that you need to stop for food. You'd like to stop at the in and out on Jefferson Dr because you think they make the best hoagies in town. You start by driving west on Jefferson Dr at a speed of 18.0 m/s. After 6 minutes, you turn left on Washington st. You get stuck behind someone who isn't in as much of a hurry as you are, and so you slow your speed to 14.3 m/s and continue driving to the south on Washington for another 11 minutes. When you get to Jefferson, you are glad to be away from that slowpoke. You turn right and speed up to a speed of 26 m/s for 13 minutes on your way to the In & Out. At this point, how far (in meters) are you from your starting point at the beach? Note: 1 mph = 0.45 m/sarrow_forwardYou are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 300km. You leave for the interview 3 ¼ hours before it is scheduled, planning to drive at 100 km/hr. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km. Then, construction work on the road causes you to drive at 40 km/hr for 60 km. At what constant speed must you drive the rest of the way to get to the interview on time.arrow_forward
- You have to drive on an expressway to apply for a job in another city, which is 367 km away. The interview was scheduled for 11:30 am. You plan to drive at 100 km / h and leave at 8 am to have some time to spare. You drive at the planned speed for the first 100 km, but then a stretch under construction forces you to slow down to 38 km / h for 37 km. What is the slowest speed you must maintain for the rest of the trip to arrive on time? Response to two decimal places and in km / harrow_forwardOn a particularly busy workday, I might need to drive back and forth between ASUN’s Newport and Jonesboro campuses, which are 38 miles apart. It takes me 48 min to make the drive from the Newport campus to the Jonesboro campus. On the return trip from Jonesboro to Newport, I decide to speed by maintaining an average speed that is 10 mi/hr faster than my average speed going from Newport to Jonesboro.arrow_forwardTo deter speeding through a residential area, the Police set up a speed trap on Illusion Drive. Between the hours of 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm, they time vehicles over a 50 meter distance. If the speed limit is 30 mph, what is the fastest a driver can cover this distance and NOT receive a ticket? 1.7 seconds 5.0 seconds none of these 8.0 seconds 3.7 secondsarrow_forward
- Alice left her house at 7:00 A.M. for work. Her husband found her pocketbook athome at 8:00 A.M., so he jumped into his car to try to catch up with her. If Alicetravels to work at 30 mph and her husband is traveling at 75 mph, can he catchup to her before she gets to work if her office is 60 miles from her house? If hedoes, what time does he catch up to her?arrow_forwardTired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?arrow_forwardSally has a very important date at eight in the evening, but she has some errands to do first. She bicycles over to the shopping center at the rate of 6 mph. The shopping center is 8 miles away. She spends an hour and a half there, stops to talk to a friend on the way home for 10 minutes, stops for a meal that takes her 45 minutes to eat, and then spends one hour and five minutes getting dressed for her date. What time did she have to start her errands in order to be ready on time for her date?arrow_forward
- A student drives the 105-mi trip back to campus after spring break and travels with an average speed of 65 mi/h for 1 hour and 30 minutes for the first part of the trip. what distance was traveled during this time? traffic gets heavier, and the last part of the trip takes another half-hour. What was the average speed during this leg of the trip? find the averts speed of the total trip.arrow_forwardOn your wedding day you leave for the church 30.0 minutes before the ceremony is to begin, which should be plenty of time since the church is only 10.0 miles away. On the way, however, you have to make an unanticipated stop for construction work on the road. As a result, your average speed for the first 15 minutes is only 5.0 mi/h. What average speed do you need for the rest of the trip to get you to the church on time?arrow_forwardA student drives 40 km south in an attempt to get to a science fair competition before realizing he missed the exit. He turns around and drives back north 15 km before arriving. The total time of travel was 0.75 hr. What is his speed? What is his velocity?arrow_forward
