Explanation:
Distance covered by the particle is given by:
Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)
Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph
Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph
It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.
Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)
Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t
The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.
So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The acceleration of the object is
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity of object = 200 feet/second
Final velocity of object = 50 feet/second
Time of travel = 5 seconds
To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
So, acceleration is given by:
where represents final velocity,
represents initial velocity and
is time of travel.
Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.
The acceleration of the object is (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.
