A marathon is roughly 26.2 miles long. Which equation could be used to determine the time, t, it takes to run a marathon as a function of the average speed, s, of the runner where t is in hours and s is in miles per hour?
t = 26.2 - 26.2s
t = 26.2 - s/26.2
t = 26.2s
t = 26.2/s
The time, t, in hours, that it takes x people to plant n trees varies directly with the number of trees, and inversely with the number of people. Suppose 6 people can plant 12 trees in 3 hours. How many people are needed to plant 28 trees in 5 hours and 15 minutes?
6
7
8
9
The force, F, acting on a charged object varies inversely to the square of its distance, r, from another charged object. When the two objects are 0.64 meter apart, the force acting on them is 8.2 Newtons. Approximately how much force would the object feel if it is at a distance of 0.77 meter from the other object?
1.7 Newtons
5.7 Newtons
11.9 Newtons
12.9 Newtons
