  1. The formula we want to use is s=v⋅t . Where

    • s is distance
    • v is velocity
    • t is time

    This will show up so many times for you that I really recommend you to memorize it. Write your known parameters as variables in s,v and t .

    • s1=120 km
    • v1= unknown
    • t1=3 h
    • s2=150 km
    • v2=v1 (same speed for both trips)
    • t2= wanted
    • For both trips you have

    st=v .

    Since v is the same for both trips then

    t2=t1s2s1.

    Doesn’t this seem very intuitive? If you double the distance the time needed doubles as well? Connect it with a trip you’ve recently made. If you needed to go 20 % further the time should increase by 20 % as well right? Also note that we didn’t need to find the velocity at all! Neat right?

    To the answer!

    Use the formula we found for t2

    t2=
