Question
Consider carefully the following three scenarios, and answer each question using an
appropriate mathematical theorem.
1)
2)
3)
A police officer sees a suspicious car on a highway on-ramp. The officer radios ahead to a highway patrol officer 30 km along the highway. 16 minutes later, the car reaches the location of the highway patrol officer and is clocked going 100 km/hr. The driver of the car is given a ticket for exceeding the 100 km/hr limit. wav patrol officer and is clocke Why can the officer conclude that the driver exceeded the speed limit?Explanation / Answer
speed =distance/time
speed = 30*60/16
=117.5 km/hr
given speed = 100km/hr
therefore speed exceeds 117.5km/hr.-100km/hr =17.5 km/hr
2) if the time is 20 min later then the speed would be 90km/hr
steps : speed = 30*60/20
=90km/hr
the speed is less than the given speed.
