Question 15

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Police use a formula s=SxLs = S \sqrt { \frac { x } { L } } , where SS is the test-car speed (mph) and LL is the test-skid length (feet) , to find the actual speed, s, in an accident which left a skid mark of length xx feet. Find the actual speed (to the nearest tenth) when S=63mph,x=150ft,L=100ft\mathrm { S } = 63 \mathrm { mph } , \mathrm { x } = 150 \mathrm { ft } , \mathrm { L } = 100 \mathrm { ft } .


A) 51.7mph51.7 \mathrm { mph }
B) 77.2mph77.2 \mathrm { mph }
