Answer:

<em>d. 268 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where  

v = Speed of the object

d = Distance traveled

t  = Time taken to travel d.

From the equation above, we can solve for d:

d = v . t

And we can also solve it for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.

The time it will take for them to meet is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{5}{67}

t = 0.0746 hours

Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56

The closest answer is d. 268 s

A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200 s what is speed of the car
spayn [35]

The speed of the car is exactly 150/7200 km/sec, or 125/6 meters/sec. 

In more familiar units, that speed is equivalent to ...

-- (20 and 5/6) meters/sec

-- 75 km/hour

An object moving with a speed or 67m/s and has kinetic energy of 500 J what is the mass of the object
saveliy_v [14]
To solve this equation, simply plug the values into the equation for calculating kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2mv^2
500 = 1/2(m)(67^2)
500 =2244.5m
m = 500/2244.5 = 0.222 kg.
