Answer:
A velocity of 120km/h is needed to cover the distance in one hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The velocity formula is:
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.
A car travelling from Ibadan to Lagos at 90 km/hr takes 1 hour 20 min.
This means that [tex]v = 90, t = 1 + \frac{20}{60} = 1.3333[/tex]
We use this to find d.
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]90 = \frac{d}{1.3333}[/tex]
[tex]d = 90*1.3333[/tex]
[tex]d = 120[/tex]
The distance is 120 km.
How fast must one travel to cover the distance in one hour?
Velocity for a distance of 120 km(d = 120) in 1 hour(t = 1). So
[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]v = \frac{120}{1}[/tex]
[tex]v = 120[/tex]
A velocity of 120km/h is needed to cover the distance in one hour
