Big Idea
The law of conservation of momentum shows that nothing in the universe is
unaccounted for. This is what makes this law indispensable in investigating vehicular
accidents (e.g., to identify the culprit).

Questions:
a. How long does it take Mario to reach school considering his average speed?
b. If x represents the time it takes Mario to drive to school with the given distance of
15 kilometers, how will you represent the relationship of his speed (y) versus the time
(x)?
c. Mario's average speed as 30 kilometers per hour. Suppose Mario lowers his speed
by 10 kilometers per hour, how long will he reach the school given the same distance?
d. Suppose Mario's speed is unknown and represented by (x), he lowers his speed by
10 kilometers per hour at a distance of 15 kilometers and reaches school at
3
hours,

how will you write the equation to find his average speed (x)?
e. Mario's average speed was 30 kilometers per hour. He plans to drive for another
30 kilometers from school, how long will it take him to cover the whole distance
(house to school to 30 kilometers from school)?
