Question

A traffic officer is monitoring traffic on a windy section of road that has a speed limit of 55 miles per hour. A car speeds past the officer and the radar gun indicates the car is traveling 68 miles per hour. How far will the speeding car travel in one minute?

Answer 1

The relative speed of the passing car is 13 miles per hour.

Explanation:

`v = (x)/(t) \\ v = 13 (mile)/(hours) \\ t = 1 \: min \: = (1)/(60) \: hours \\ 13 = (x)/( (1)/(60) ) \\ 13 = (60 \: x)/(1) \\ x = (13)/(60) miles \: \\ and \: we \: are \: done.`

i hope i have been useful buddy.

good luck ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.
