Question 854053: If you start traveling at 60 mph and you reduce your speed by 1 mph every minute how long will it take you to travel 60 miles Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It can't and won't happen.
It will take one hour to go 60 miles at 60 mph.
If you reduce the speed, it will take more than 60 minutes but the car will be stopped after 60 minutes at a distance of only 30.5 miles.
After 30 minutes, you have gone only 22.75 miles and each minute you go slower
s= ½(2 + (59)*(-1/60))60
S = ½(2a + (n-1)d)n
