Then the force will also be doubled
D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km
v₁ = speed of one car
v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10
t = time taken to meet = 4 h
distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D
v₁ t + v₂ t = D
(v₁ + v₂) t = D
inserting the values
(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680
v₁ = 90 km/h
rate of slower car is given as
v₂ = v₁ - 10
v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h
For physics, I would recommend to just keep doing practice problems and reviewing notes. Repetition of the same concepts will help drill it into your brain. Hope that helps!
1) 72/4 = 18 years
2) 72/10 = 7.2 years
3) 72/13 = 5.54 years
Explanation: With the rule of 72, you simply take 72 and divide it by whatever the rate of return (or return on investment) is.
Let me know if you have any questions.
