Question

In an 8.00km race, one runner runs at a steady 11.5km/h and another runs at 14.9km/h.

Answer 1

How far from the finish line is the slower runner when the faster runner finishes the race?

Answer 2

any ideas?

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

have you seen the distance formula: Distance = rate X time?

Answer 5

Distance traveled = rate X time traveled

Answer 6

ok let me try something

Answer 7

rate is speed right?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

so time=distance/rate..time=8.00km/11.5km/h=92

Answer 10

0.69565217391 h

Answer 11

ya i just recalculate it and got the same answer...ok now i need its distance?

Answer 12

Reread the problem and find out what the question is asking for.

Answer 13

where the slowest guy at when the faster guy cross the finish line

Answer 14

So find out how long it takes the faster guy to cross the finish line and then use that time to find out where the slower guys is, right?

Answer 15

do i subtract the two hours?

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

ok so 8.00km/14.9km/h=.5369127517

Answer 18

then now what?

Answer 19

use that time to find out where the slower guys is, right?

Answer 20

ok so now d=r*t

Answer 21

d=.5369127517*11.5

Answer 22

Yes, now answer what the question is asking for.

Answer 23

Answer 32

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2m above the ground. He then falls onto a thick pad. The top of the pad is 80 cm above the ground, and it compresses by 50cm as he comes to rest.What is his acceleration as he comes to rest on the pad?

Answer 33

so i convert the 80 cm into .8m

Answer 34
