Answer:A) 19.8 seconds
B) 467.5 metres
Explanation: 100km/hr = 27.78m/s
So, it covers 27.78 metres in one second
Take the time it would cover 550m as x
Therefore 27.78m = 1second
550m = x
Cross multiplying
27.78x = 550m
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
x = 550÷27.78
x = 19.8seconds
B) distance = speed × time
Speed = 85km/hr = 23.61m/s
Time = 19.8seconds
Therefore,
Distance = 23.61 × 19.8
Distance = 467.5m
