- Ben starts walking along a path at 4 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 6 mi/h. How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?arrow_forwardAn arrow is shot from the ground into the air at an initial speed of 108 ft/sec. Use the formula h=16t2+v0t to determine when the arrow will be 180 feet from the ground. Round the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardFarmer John’s tractor pulls a rope attached to a bale of hay through a pulley. At a certain moment, the tractor’s speed is 3 m/s and the bale is rising at 2 m/s. How far is the tractor from the bale at this moment?arrow_forward
