It took 2.5 hours for the bus to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 75.0 miles/hr. How many miles lie between the two cities?
Velocity of the bus = 75 miles/hr
Time taken by the bus to travel the distance between two cities = 2.5 hours
Let us assume the distance between the two cities = x
Then
Velocity = Distance/Time taken
Then Distance = Velocity Time taken
= 75 2.5 miles
= 187.5 miles.
The distance between the two
cities is 187.5 miles.I hope this answer is what you were looking for. This
process is applicable for similar problems. In future you can always use this
method to determine the answer.
The formula for distance is d=v/t so distiance equals velocity devided by time. 75.0miles per hour devided by 2.5 is equal to 30 miles. Now lets check this again. 30=75/2.5 30=30 so the answere is 30 miles apart. Have fun and enjoy !! ; )
