- Sarah ran the 300-m hurdles in 47.7 sec. In meters per second, find the rate at which Sarah ran. Give the answer to the nearest tenth of a meter per second.arrow_forwardThe skid marks of a vehicle involved in an accident were 122 feet long. Use the formula s=24d to find the speed of the vehicle before the brakes were applied. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardA man throws a ball into the air with a velocity of 96 ft/s. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the height of the ball will be 48 feet. Round to the nearest tenth.arrow_forward
- Use the formula I = Prt to solve for the principal. P, for : (a) 1= $1380. R = 5%. T = 3 yeas (b)in generalarrow_forwardSolve for t. (Round to 3 decimals) ONLY TYPE IN THE NUMBER! e3t = 900arrow_forwardPolice use the formula: U = v20L 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 measSures a car's skid marks to be 193 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.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardYou are driving your car away from home at 12:00. At 3:00, you are 186 miles away. If you assume you are traveling at the same speed for the entire trip, how far away from home are you at 5:30? You are miles from home. (Round answer to nearest tenth of a mile.)arrow_forwardHunter is 1.75 meters tall. At 12 noon, he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 30.85 meters. He stands 26.8 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter.arrow_forward
- Police 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.
