<h3>
Answer: D. 5 blinks</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
First we'll need to find out how long it takes for the ball to go from the pitcher to the batter.
It needs to travel 60.5 feet and does so at a speed of 121 ft/sec
distance = speed*time
time = distance/speed
time = (60.5 ft)/(121 ft per sec)
time = 0.5 seconds
In half a second, the ball is from the pitcher to the batter.
------------
An eye blink is 0.1 second which means we can form this equation
0.1 second = 1 blink
We multiply both sides by 5 to get the "0.1 second" to turn into "0.5 seconds".
So,
0.1 second = 1 blink
5*(0.1 second) = 5*(1 blink)
0.5 seconds = <u>5 blinks</u> which points us to choice D.
Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
first subtract 3x from both sides
then your equation will be 8x-7=9 then you will add 7 to both sides getting 8x=16 then divide both sides by 8 and x=2
Answer:
60 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Total distance covered d = 440 miles
Average speed in the first 4 hours v1 = 50 mph
Total time taken for the whole trip t = 8:00 to 4:00pm
t = 16:00-8:00 = 8 hours
Firstly we need to calculate the distance covered during the first 4 hours;
d1 = average speed × time = v1 × t1
t1 = 4
d1 = 50 × 4 = 200 miles
Then we need to calculate the distance covered in the second period of the journey;
d = d1 + d2
d2 = d - d1
Substituting the values;
d2 = 440 - 200
d2 = 240 miles
The time taken for the second period of travel t2;
t2 = t -t1 = 8-4
t2 = 4 hours
Average speed = distance travelled ÷ time taken
The average speed for the second part of the trip v2 is;
v2 = d2 ÷ t2
Substituting t2 and d2;
v2 = 240 miles ÷ 4 hours
v2 = 60 mph
The average speed during the second part of the trip is 60 mph
