Question

See question below as I tried to ask another tutor

Answer 1

Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

1. The formula V=2.5r can be used to estimate the maximum safe velocity,v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel if it is driven along a curved radius of curvature r in feet.

2. The radius of curvature is 280 feet.

To determine the maximum safe speed, we use the given formula as shown below:

`V=2.5r`

where:

V= Maximum safe velocity in miles per hour

r=radius of curvature = 280 feet

We plug in what we know:

`\begin{gathered} V=2.5r \\ =2.5(280) \\ Calculate \\ V=700\text{ }(miles)/(hour) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the maximum safe speed is 700 miles per hour.
