Answer:
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Explanation:
The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.
g ∝ T
where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.
Then,
The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.
Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours
g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.
⇒28×5= g₂×4
⇒ g₂×4=28×5
gallons
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Answer:
a)
b) The second runner will win
c) d = 10.54m
Explanation:
For part (a):
For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:
Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.
For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:
X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m Since the finish line was 250m away:
d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m
