In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled

at a speed of 35 miles per hour. Car "B" traveled at 45 miles per hour. Both cars traveled a distance of 10 miles.
How much sooner did Car "B" arrive at its destination than Car "A"?
a-90 seconds
b-about 5 minutes
c- about 10 minutes

Answer:

b-about 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For an object in uniform circular motion (=moving at constant velocity), the time taken to cover a certain distance is given by:

t=\frac{d}{v}

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed of the object

In this problem we have:

d = 10 miles is the distance covered by both cars

Car A travels at a speed of

v_A=35 mi/h

So the time it takes is

t=\frac{10}{35}=0.286 h \cdot 60 \frac{min}{h}= 17.2 min

Car B travels at a speed of

v_B=45 mi/h

So the time it takes is

t'=\frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10}{45}=0.222 h \cdot 60 \frac{min}{h}=13.3 min

So the difference in time is

\Delta t = t-t'=17.2 min - 13.3 min \sim 4 min

So, the closest answer is

b-about 5 minutes

This is the concept of Area and volume of solid materials; Tommy soup can is likely to have a cylindrical shape. This means that the base of the cylinder will have a circular shape.  If this is the case the volume of the can will be given by:
volume=[base area]*height
volume=πr^2h
where;
base area=πr^2
height=h

Ken and Hamid run around a track. It takes Ken 80 seconds to complete a lap. It takes Hamid 60 seconds to complete a lap. Ken an
likoan [24]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Ken will have run 3 laps and Hamid will have run 4.

Explanation:

To find this, we first find the number of seconds that will have passed when they meet again.  We use the LCM, or least common multiple, for this.  First we find the prime factorization of each number:

80 = 10(8)

10 = 5(2)

8 = 2(4)

4 = 2(2)

80 = 2(2)(2)(5)(2)

60 = 10(6)

10 = 5(2)

6 = 2(3)

60 = 2(2)(3)(5)

For the LCM, we multiply the common factors by the uncommon.  Between the two numbers, the common factors are 2, 2 and 5.  This makes the uncommon 2, 2, and 3, and makes our LCM

2(2)(5)(2)(2)(3) = 240

This means every 240 seconds they will both be at the start line.

Since Ken completes a lap in 80 seconds, he completes 240/80 = 3 laps in 240 seconds.

Since Hamid completes a lap in 60 seconds, he completes 240/60 = 4 laps in 240 seconds.
