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 need to drive 69.7 km (43.3 miles) for an interview. The interview is at 11:15 am, you leave at 10:00 am and you plan to drive at 100 km/h for the first 30 km, but then it is the 91 you're driving on so of course you hit traffic and have to slow down. For the next 30 km you drive at 40 km/h. What would be the least speed you would need to drive at for the rest of the trip to arrive on time to the interview?arrow_forward
- You leave Calgary at 09:00 hrs in the morning for Banff. The distance Calgary-Banff = 160 Km. The max speed on the highway is 110 Km/hr. At what time should you arrive in Banff?arrow_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 hedoes, what time does he catch up to her?arrow_forwardYou are on your way to a mining site where you have a very important meeting. The mining site is 300 km away from you and the meeting starts at 11h15. You plan on driving at a speed of 100 km/h, therefore, you leave at 08h00. For the first 100 km you drive your planned speed, but then road construction forces you to slow down to 40 km/h for 40 km. What is the minimum speed you need to drive for the rest of the journey to arrive at the meeting on timearrow_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_forward
- Sally 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_forwardA brand-new engineering hire is late for her first product development team meeting. She gets out of her car and starts running 8 mph. It is exactly 7:58 a.m., and the meeting starts at exactly 8:00 a.m. Her meeting is 510 yd away. Will she make it on time to the meeting? If so, with how much time to spare? If not, how late will she be? (Express your answer using two significant figures. Enter a negative value if the person will be late and a positive value if she will come earlier.) tarrow_forwardA 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_forward
