Respuesta :
If the two buses are 640 miles apart after 5 hours. Then the rate of each bus will be 57 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.
What is speed?
The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.
We know that the speed formula
Speed = Distance/Time
Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions.
One bus travels 14 miles faster than the other.
Let x be the speed of first bus. Then the speed of the second bus will be (x + 14).
If the two buses are 640 miles apart after 5 hours.
Then the rate of each bus will be
Then the relative speed of the buses will be
S = x + x + 14
S = 2x + 14
Then the value of x will be
2x + 14 = 640 / 5
2x + 14 = 128
2x = 114
x = 57 miles per hour
Then the speed of the other bus will be
⇒ 57 + 14
⇒ 71 miles per hour
