square root of the length of the skid. On a snowy road, a car
with good brakes traveling at 40 mph would skid approxi-

road were 400 ft, how fast would this car be traveling?

The direct variation that of the speed to the skid length implies that the speed increases as the length increases

The car would be traveling at 59.96 mph

How to determine the speed of the skidding car?

A direct variation that illustrates the speed of the skidding car is:

s = k√l

Where:

  • s represents the speed of the car
  • l represents the length of the skid
  • k represents the proportionality constant

Make k the subject in s = k√l

k = s /√l

Rewrite as:

s₁ /√l₁ = s₂ /√l₂

Substitute known values

40 /√178 = s₂ /√400

Evaluate the square root of 40

40 /√178 = s₂ /20

Multiply both sides by 20

800 /√178 = s₂

Evaluate the quotient

s₂ = 59.96

Hence, the car would be traveling at 59.96 mph
