Answer from: ahmedeldyame

The speed of the first car was 6 miles/hour

Further explanation

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

v = final velocity ( m/s )

u = initial velocity ( m/s )

t = time taken ( s )

d = distance ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given:

Distance between two cars = d = 10 miles

Time Taken = t = 1 hour

Distance covered by the first car = d₁ = 2 + d₂

Unknown:

Speed of the first car = v₁ = ?

Solution:

d = d_1 + d_2

10 = ( 2 + d_2 ) + d_2

10 = 2 + 2d_2

10 - 2 = 2 d_2

8 = 2 d_2

$d_2 = 8 \div 2$

$d_2 = 4 \texttt{ miles}$

$\texttt{ }$

$d_1 = 2 + d_2 = 2 + 4 = 6 \texttt{ miles}$

$v_1 = d_1 \div t = 6 \div 1 = 6 \texttt{ miles/hour}$

Answer from: debbys4153

The speed of the first car is $\boxed{6{\text{ mph}}}$ and the speed of the second car is $\boxed{4{\text{ mph}}}.$

Further explanation:

The formula of the speed can be expressed as follows,

$\boxed{{\text{Speed}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}}}$

The formula of the time can be expressed as follows,

$\boxed{{\text{Time}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Speed}}}}}$

Given:

The distance between the two cars is $10{\text{ miles}}.$

The first car covered 2 miles more than the second car.

Explanation:

Consider the speed of the second car be “”.

Consider the speed of the first car be “ x+2 ”.

The distance covered by the first car in one hour is $x + 2{\text{ miles}}.$

The distance covered by the second car in one hour is $x{\text{ miles}}.$

The total distance covered by two cars is $10{\text{ miles}}.$

$\begin{aligned}x + 2 + x &= 10\\2x + 2 &= 10\\2x &= 10 - 2\\2x &= 8\\x&= 4\\\end{aligned}$

The speed of the second car is $4{\text{ miles/h}}.$

The speed of the first car can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Speed}} &= x + 2\\&= 4 + 2\\&= 6{\text{ miles/h}}\\\end{aligned}$

The speed of the first car is $\boxed{6{\text{ mph}}}$ and the speed of the second car is $\boxed{4{\text{ mph}}}.$
