Question

The wind speed near the center of a tornado is represented by the equation S=93logd+65, where d is the distance, in miles, that the tornado travels and S is the wind speed, in miles per hour. If the wind speed was 130 miles per hour, which equation could be used to find the distance that the tornado traveled?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tornado speed is given by

$S=93\log_{10} d+65$

where, S=wind Speed

d=distance in miles

if $S=130 mph$

then

$130=93\log_{10} d+65$

$93\log_{10} d=65$

$\log_{10} d=0.6989$

$d=10^{0.699}$

$d=5.0003\ miles$
