Speed is the rate of change in the position of an object. The distance between the two snakes after 10 mins is 15 inches.
What is the relation between speed, distance, and Time?
We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,
[tex]\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Given to us
- Two snakes race
- The speed of the first is 24 1/2 inches per minute
- The speed of the other is 26 inches per minute
What is the distance between them after 3 mins?
The relative speed between them, as they are moving in the same direction, therefore,
Relative speed = (26-24.5) = 1.5 inches per minute
[tex]\text{Distance between them after 3 mins}= \rm speed \times \rm time[/tex]
[tex]= 1.5 \times 3\ mins\\= 4.5\ inches[/tex]
Thus, the distance between the two snakes after 3 mins is 4.5 inches.
What is the distance between them after 10 mins?
The relative speed between them, as they are moving in the same direction, therefore,
Relative speed = (26-24.5) = 1.5 inches per minute
[tex]\text{Distance between them after 10 mins}= \rm speed \times \rm time[/tex]
[tex]= 1.5 \times 10\ mins\\= 15\ inches[/tex]
Thus, the distance between the two snakes after 10 mins is 15 inches.
