r * t = d We know that the distance was the same. So, where x = the rate on the way to his friend's house: Trip there = Trip back x * (3 hours) = (x-2) * (4 hours) -or- 3x = 4(x-2) 3x = 4x - 8 8 = x He was traveling 8 mph on the way there. The distance was 24 miles (8 mph * 3 hours. He was traveling 6 mph on the way home, which makes sense because it would take 4 hours to travel 24 miles while traveling 6 mph.

How many hours will a car traveling at 65 miles per hour take to catch up to a car traveling at 55 miles per hour if the slower car starts one hour before the slower car?
Distance d = speed x time With one hour head start the slower car traveled d= 55x1 = 55 miles The faster car catches up when they have traveled same distance d = 65t = 55t + 55 10t = 55 t = 5.5 hours

If you are riding in a fast moving car in what direction would you throw an object so that it will return to your hand?
Forward. When you throw an object, you'll be traveling at a high acceleration and velocity fast enough that when you throw the object you'll catch very quickly, mostly because you would throw it slower than the acceleration of the car.-----------If you are accelerating, the above is true--you would need to throw ahead of you at an angle for it to return to your hand. However, if the car is traveling quickly but at a constant speed, you would simply throw it straight upward, like you normally would. This is because both you and the object are already traveling at the same speed in the same direction.

How do you make your heart pulse go slower?
Assuming that you mean relative to you, you need to either: 1. Be traveling close to the speed of light with respect to someone traveling slower. or 2. Be near a stronger source of gravitation with repect to someone near a source of weaker gravitation. A full explanation can be found with research into Special Relativity.
