Question

Anny is not a very good driver, so she drives really slow. She normally drives at a speed of 50 miles per hour if it is not raining, and 30 miles per hour if it is raining. Today she drove in the sun in the morning and in the rain in the afternoon, for a total of 120 miles in 180 minutes. How many minutes did she drive in the rain?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.1s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that velocity is uniformly decelerating, we can take the average velocity: Letting Vf equale 0 /ms, we get 1/2 21.8ms or 10.9ms. Now we know V = D/T and rearranging this gives T = D/V. Substitute our velocity of 10.9m/s for V and 99m for D: T = 99m/ 10.9ms. finally we get T = 9.1s
