2 horses ran from the same place from the at same time one horse ran at 2 miles per second and the other ran at a speed for 18 miles per second. how far apart were they in 1 minute? in 5 minutes? in 8 minutes?

- PLS HELP ASAP!!!!!

Answer:

1 minute = 1080 - 960 = 120 m

5 minutes = 5400 - 4800 = 600 m

8 minutes = 8640 - 7680 = 960 m

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the easiest way is to just see how far they get at each time.  So I'm going to go one horse at a time.

16 m/s

1 minute = 60 seconds, every second is 16 meters so 16 m/s * 60 s = 960 m

5 minutes = 300 seconds so 16 m/s * 300 s = 4800 m

8 minutes = 480 seconds, 16 m/s * 480 s = 7680 m

I also want to point out that unites cancel out.  m/s * s is kinda like variables so the seconds being multiplied by m/s cancels witht eh seconds in the denominator.

Now the next horse

18 m/s

1 minute totals to 1080 m

5 minutes = 5400 m

8 minutes = 8640 m

Now we take the differences of each time

1 minute = 1080 - 960 = 120 m

5 minutes = 5400 - 4800 = 600 m

8 minutes = 8640 - 7680 = 960 m

Another way to do this is to take the difference of speed and then multiply that by the time.  so 18-16 = 2, then multiply each time by 2.  For me it just makes more intuitive sense the way I showed.  

Jack wanted to measure the weight of his luggage at the airport before departure. He was surprised to see that it weighed 23.6 kg. Then he stood on the weight with and without his luggage and understood that the scale is malfunctioning as the last two weights of 91.2 kg and 65.5 kg were obviously off. What was the true weight of his luggage?

After the Civil War, the era known as Reconstruction began. During this era, the federal government tried to grant rights to former slaves and rebuild the South. There was progress, including the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, granting freedom, citizenship and voting rights to former slaves.

In the 1877 presidential election, both the Republican and Democratic candidates claimed to have won. Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican candidate, became president in exchange for withdrawing federal troops from the South. The lack of military presence meant there was no longer a way to enforce the new amendments or punish those who treated African Americans unfairly. Reconstruction came to an abrupt end. Not only that, much of the progress made in the 12 years of Reconstruction was reversed as Jim Crow laws took hold. When we look at the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow, it is important to remember that history did not have to be this way. Reconstruction efforts could have continued if the country had committed to it.
What explanation do you have for which of these events occurred during the Reconstruction era?
A. The Civil War began.
B. Rutherford B. Hayes became president.
C. Progress toward racial equality in the South was reversed.
D. Three amendments were passed to grant rights to former slaves.
