Problema Solution
a car traveling 60 mph takes 5.8 seconds to stop.How far does the car travel per second when trying to stop
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
v = 60 mph the average rate
t = 5.8 s the time of the travel
d = the distance of the travel
Since v = d/t follows d = v*t.
By plugging the above values we get:
d = 60*5.8
d = 348 mi
The car travels 348 miles.
