First, determine the distance of the motorcycle and the car from the start point. The distance could be determined using
\boxed{d=v \times t}
d stands for distance, v stands for speed, t stands for time

The car
d = 48 × t
d = 48t

The motorcycle
d = 20 × t
d = 20t

At the end of t hours, the car is 48t miles (east) from the start point and the motorcycle is 20t miles (north) from the start point.

Second, determine the distance between 48t miles at east and 20t miles at north using pythagoras
distance = \sqrt{(48t)^{2}+(20t)^{2}}
distance = \sqrt{2304t^{2}+400t^{2}}
distance = \sqrt{2704t^{2}}
distance = 52t

The expression for their distance apart at the end of t hours is 52t

Justin Verlander of the Astros threw a pitch 100 miles per hour. How many seconds did it take to get to home plate. The plate is
castortr0y [4]

It will take 0.4 seconds to get to the home plate.

Given:

The speed of the pitch thrown by Justin is 100 miles per hour

The distance of home plate from the pitching rubber is 60.5 feet

To find:

The time taken by a pitch to reach the home plate

Solution:

The distance home plate from the pitching rubber = d = 60.5 feet

1 mile = 5280 feet\\1 foot=\frac{1}{5280} mile\\60.5 feet=60.5 \times \frac{1}{5280} mile=\frac{60.5}{5280}miles

The speed of pitch thrown by Justin = s = 100 miles/hr

The time taken by a pitch to reach the home plate = t =?

The speed of the moving object is given by dividing the distance covered from the time taken to cover that distance.

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\s=\frac{d}{t}\\100 miles/hr=\frac{\frac{60.5}{5280}miles}{t}\\t=\frac{60.5}{5280}miles\times \frac{1}{100 miles/hr}\\= 0.000114583 hr

In an hour there are 3600 seconds, then in 0.000114583 hours will be:

1 hour=3600 seconds\\=0.000114583 \times 3600=0.4124988 s\approx 0.4 s

It will take 0.4 seconds to get to the home plate.
