Answer:
<em>d. 268 s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>
An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.
Expressed in a simple equation, we have:
Where
v = Speed of the object
d = Distance traveled
t = Time taken to travel d.
From the equation above, we can solve for d:
d = v . t
And we can also solve it for t:
Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.
The time it will take for them to meet is:
t = 0.0746 hours
Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56
The closest answer is d. 268 s
