The equation that describes the distance that car has travelled for specific period of time is: U(t)=S(t)/t, U(t):speed(km/h) |
\n" ); document.write( " S(t):distance(km)| we firstly convert min
\n" ); document.write( " t: time(min) | to hr
\n" ); document.write( "In our problem, S(t1)=U(t1)*t1
\n" ); document.write( " =>S(t1)=40*0,5=20km
\n" ); document.write( " S(t2)=U(t2)*t2
\n" ); document.write( " =>S(t2)=60*(1/4)=15km
\n" ); document.write( "So the final distance travelled is S=S(t1)+S(t2)=20+15=35km
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
