Answer:
Answer: speed of the car is 88 miles per hour
the speed of the motorcycle is 78 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of miles travelled by car = 312
Number of miles travelled by motorcycle = 272
Let x = speed of the car
Let y = speed of the motorcycle
If the car's speed is 10mph more than the motorcycle's, it means
x = y + 10 - - -- - - 1
Time taken for car to travel 312 miles is distance /speed = 312/x
Time taken for motorcycle to travel 272 miles is distance /speed = 272/y
The car travels 312 miles in the same time that a motorcycle traveled 272.
This means
312/x = 272/y
312y = 272x
y = 272x/312
Substituting y = 272x/312 into equation 1, it becomes
x = 272x/312 + 10
312x = 272x + 3120
312x-272x = 3120
40x = 3120
x = 3120/40 = 78 miles per hour
x = y + 10 = y + 78
x = 88 miles per hour
Explanation:
PLS GIVE BRAINLIST
A car and a motorcycle traveling at the same speed in the same direction have the same velocity.
Velocity is the time rate of change in displacement. It is given by:
Velocity = displacement / time
Velocity is a vector quantity, hence it has both magnitude and direction.
Two vehicles are said to have the same velocity if the have the same speed and move in the same direction.
