The total distance a ball rolls varies directly with the time in seconds. The ball rolls a total distance of 78 centimeters in 6 seconds.

What is the time in seconds the ball rolls when the total distance is 130 centimeters?


10 s

13 s

22 s

25 s

Respuesta :

The time the balls roll when the total distance is 130 cm is 10 seconds.

let

d = total distance the ball rolls

t = time in seconds

The total distance is directly proportional to the time in seconds. Therefore,

d ∝ t

d = kt

where

∝  is the proportionality sign

k = constant of proportionality

when d = 78 cm, t = 6 seconds

Therefore, let's find the constant of proportionality.

k = d / t

k = 78 / 6

k = 13

The constanst of proportionality is known . Now let's find the time(seconds) when d = 130 cm .

d = kt

make t the subject of the formula

t = d / k

t =  130 / 13

t = 10 secs
