- John started running at a speed of 10 kph.Three minutes later, Peter started running in the same direction and catches up with John in 20 minutes. What is the speed of Peter? O 11.5 kph 15 kph 12.5 kph 14.2 kpharrow_forwardPolice use the formula: v = /20L to estimate the speed of a car, v, in miles per hour, based on the length, L, in feet, of its skid marks when suddenly braking on a dry, asphalt road. At the scene of an accident, a police officer measures a car's skid marks to be 175 feet long. Approximately how fast was the car traveling? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) of a unit. Answer: The car was traveling at approximately | miles per hour. Enter an integer or decimal number [more.] Submit Question Jump to Answer W 167 29,708 (a0) Airarrow_forwardLaw Enforcement Police use the formula s = √24d to estimate the speed of a car sin miles-per-hour (mph), based on the distance d (in feet) of the skid marks when braking on dry, asphalt road. At the scene of an accident, a police officer estimated that the speed of the car was 85 mph. Use this information to determine the distance the skid marks were. Round your answer to the nearest foot.arrow_forward
