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

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.  

d. is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
