Answer:
They have the same velocity.
Explanation:
In order to know the answer, we have to consider using the formula for "velocity."
Velocity refers to the speed that an object has according to a given direction.
1. We'll have to get the velocity of Runner #38 first.
displacement = 3.2 miles
time= 24 minutes, 28 seconds
Let's convert 28 seconds to minutes: 28 sec. × [tex]\frac{1 min}{60 sec}[/tex] = 0.47 minutes
So, 24 minutes, 28 seconds is the same with 24.47 minutes
Let's compute for the velocity.
v = [tex]\frac{3.2 miles}{24.47 minutes}[/tex] = 0.13 [tex]\frac{miles}{minute}[/tex] (this is the velocity of Runner #38)
2. Next, we have to get the velocity of Runner #103 in order to compare them.
displacement = 3.2 miles
time = 24 minutes, 22 seconds
Let's covert 22 seconds to minutes: 22 sec. × [tex]\frac{1 minute}{60 seconds}[/tex] = 0.37 minutes
So, 24 minutes, 22 seconds is the same with 24.37 minutes
Let's compute for the velocity.
v = [tex]\frac{3.2 miles}{24.37 minutes}[/tex] = 0.13 [tex]\frac{miles}{minute}[/tex] (this is the velocity of Runner #103)
Thus, we can conclude that "they have the same velocity."
