Distance Problems (2)( Week 48 Evaluation) 1. The length of a train is 200 meters. It is driven at the speed of 25 meters per second. How many seconds will it take for the train to pass a 475-meter long tunnel (from entering to completely exiting from the tunnel)? 2. Nancy starts out at the starting point of a trail at 5 meters per second, and 3 seconds later Tom starts out at the same point at the speed of 8 meters per second. In how many seconds will Tom catch up with Nancy? 3. Josh and Sofia start together and race their bikes around a circular trial at constant speeds. It will take Josh 8 minutes to go 1 lap, and it will take Sofia 6 minutes for a lap. How long will it take Sofia to be exactly 1 lap ahead of Josh (in minutes)? 4. The length of a bridge is 3140 meters. A train crossed the bridge at 600 meters per minute. It took the train 5.4 minutes to cross the bridge (from entering to completely exiting the bridge). What is the length of the train in meters? 5. Jessica was riding her bike to school at 7 MPH. Exactly half way, she got a flat tire on her bike and had to walk to the school for the remaining distance. If she was able to walk at 3 MPH, what was her average speed (in MPH) for the entire trip from home to school? 6. Josh and Rene are biking around a round trail which is 6 miles long. Josh bikes at 12 mph and Rene bikes at 10 mph. If both start from the same place and ride in the same direction, how long (in hours) will it take for them to meet again? 7. Alice and Anne are biking around a round trail which is 6 miles long. Alice bikes at 9 mph and Anne bikes at 7 mph. If both start from the same place but ride to different directions, how many minutes will it take for them to meet again? 8. A train traveling at 20 miles per hour reaches a tunnel which is 7 times as long as the train. If the train takes minutes to completely clear the tunnel, how long is the train in miles? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms. 9. If Sofia can bike 60 feet in 6 seconds, how many minutes will it take her to bike 1200 yards? 10. David drove his car at 45 mph for the same number of hours as that Eric drove his car at 52 mph. If David ended up driving 42 miles less than Eric, how many hours did they drive? |
