How much time would Simpson save by in-
creasing his average velocity to 105 km/h to
the east?
Answer in units of min
To calculate the time saved by increasing the average velocity, we need to know the distance Simpson is traveling. Assuming we have the distance, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Velocity
Let's say the distance Simpson is traveling is 200 km. We can calculate the initial time using the formula above:
Initial Time = Distance / Initial Velocity
Initial Time = 200 km / 100 km/h (since the initial average velocity is not given, let's assume it is 100 km/h)
Initial Time = 2 hours
Now, let's calculate the time it would take if Simpson increases the average velocity to 105 km/h:
New Time = Distance / New Velocity
New Time = 200 km / 105 km/h
New Time ≈ 1.90 hours
To convert this time to minutes, we multiply by 60:
New Time in minutes ≈ 1.90 hours * 60 minutes/hour
New Time in minutes ≈ 114 minutes
Therefore, Simpson would save approximately 114 minutes by increasing his average velocity to 105 km/h to the east.
