Two cars start moving from the same point. one travels south at 100km/hour, the other west at 50 km/hour. how far apart are they two hours later?

223.61 km

Explanation:

Speed of car traveling south = 100 km/h

Speed of car traveling west = 50 km/h

Time each car travels = 2 hours

Distance = Speed×Time

Distance covered by car traveling south = 100×2 = 200 km

Distance covered by car traveling west = 50×2 = 100 km

Consider the distance covered by car traveling south as the base of a triangle and the distance covered by car traveling west as the height of a triangle

Distance between them after 2 hours would be the hypotenuse of the triangle

Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse = √(Base²+Height²)

⇒Hypotenuse = √(200²+100²)

⇒Hypotenuse = 223.61 km

So, they are 223.61 km apart two hours later.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
