Maya travels [tex]4.19 feet/sec[/tex] faster than Kelly !
Difference in distance is : [tex]106.76-56.52 = 50.24 feet[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have , The Carousel in the National Mall has 4 rings of horses. Kelly is riding on the inner ring, which has a radius of 9 feet. Maya is riding on the outer ring, which is 8 feet farther out from the center than the inner ring is. We need to find In one rotation of the carousel, how much farther does Maya travel than Kelly . Let's find out:
Kelly is riding on the inner ring, which has a radius of 9 feet
Total distance traveled by Kelly is circumference of circle with radius 9 feet i.e.
⇒ [tex]Distance = 2\pi r[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Distance = 2(3.14) 9[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Distance = 56.52feet[/tex]
Maya is riding on the outer ring, which is 8 feet farther out from the center than the inner ring .
Total distance traveled by Maya is circumference of circle with radius (8+9=17) feet i.e.
⇒ [tex]Distance = 2\pi r[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Distance = 2(3.14) 17[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Distance = 106.76feet[/tex]
Therefore , Difference in distance is : [tex]106.76-56.52 = 50.24 feet[/tex]
Now , Speed of both is give by
⇒ [tex]Speed_k_e_l_l_y=\frac{56.52}{12} = 4.71 feet/sec[/tex] And ,
⇒ [tex]Speed_M_a_y_a=\frac{106.76}{12} = 8.90 feet/sec[/tex]
Faster Maya travels = 8.90-4.71 = 4.19
So , Maya travels [tex]4.19 feet/sec[/tex] faster than Kelly !
