If the fastest roller coaster reaches its top speed of 128 mph in five seconds and total ride lasts for fifty how far has traveled ten seconds?

To calculate the distance traveled by the roller coaster, we can assume constant acceleration during the initial five seconds of its run.

* Initial velocity (u) = 0 mph (since it starts from rest)

* Final velocity (v) = 128 mph = 128 * 5280/3600 = 186.67 ft/s

* Acceleration (a) = (v - u) / t = (186.67 - 0) / 5 = 37.33 ft/s²

Now, let's calculate the distance traveled in ten seconds (t = 10 s), including the initial five seconds:

* Distance (s) = ut + 0.5 * a * t²

* s = (0 ft/s) * 10 s + 0.5 * 37.33 ft/s² * (10 s)²

* s = 1866.5 ft

Therefore, the roller coaster has traveled approximately 1867 feet in ten seconds, including the time taken to reach its top speed.
