Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of 55 mi/h and the other at 60 mi/h. How far must the faster car travel before it has a 15-min lead on the slower car

The distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the faster car, v₁ = 60 mi/h

speed of the slower car, v₂ = 55 mi/h

Let the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car = x miles

Note: divide 15 mins by 60 to convert to hours for consistency in the units.

Therefore, the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

answer: 802.3 kilo joules of energy represents 191.75 kilo calorie of energy.

explanation:

energy released during combustion of one mole methane = 802.3 kilo joules

if 1 kilo joule = 0.239006   kilo calorie

then ,802.3 kilo joule will be = 802.30.239006 kilo calorie

802.3 kilo joule = 191.75 kilo calorie

hence, the energy in kilo calorie is 191.75 kilo calorie.

what is the actual question though?
