Question

Car A is traveling east at a steady speed of 50 miles per hour. After 2 hours, it is 140 miles east of Johnstown.

Answer 1

The two cars in relation to each other when they began travelling will be car B was 20 miles east of car A. Then the correct option is A.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

Car A is travelling east at a steady speed of 50 miles per hour.

Then the equation of car A is given as

y = 50x + C

where x be the number of miles and x be the number of hours.

Then we have

After 2 hours, it is 140 miles east of Johns town.

Then we have

y = 50x ..1

Car B is travelling east on the same road. its distance east of Johns town is represented by the graph.

Then the equation of car B will be

y = [(120 - 20) / (2 - 0)]x + 20

y = 50x + 20 ...2

Then the two cars in relation to each other when they began travelling will be car B was 20 miles east of car A.

Then the correct option is A.
