Question

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 7 seconds, he is 1708 meters

from her. Then at 11 seconds he is 1484 meters from her.
What is Superman's average rate?
meters per second
How far does Superman fly every 13 seconds?
meters
How close to Lois is Superman after 24 seconds?
meters

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) rate = ( 1484 - 1708) ÷ ( 11 - 7) = - 56 m/ s

2) rate × 13 = - 56 × 13 = - 728 m per 13 s

3) rate = - 56

t = 24 s

d = - 56 × 24 = 1344 m

whole distance = 2100

7 × 56 = 392

and he flay till 1708 then whole distance = 392 + 1708

so the remaining distance between him and her

2100 - 1344 = 756 m
