Two
cars, A and B , are travelling in the same
direction
although
Car B is 186 metres behind A. The
speed car B is 24.4 m/s and the speed of car A is 18.6 m/ s. How much time does it take for car B to catch up with car A?

Respuesta :

Answer:

SA = 18.6 * t + 186    total distance traveled by A in time t

SB = 24.4 t                total distance car B must travel to catch car A

SA - SB = 0 = 18.6 t + 186 = 24.4 t

(24.4 - 18.6) t = 186

t = 186 m / 5.8 m/s = 32 s

Check 18.6 * 32 + 186 = 781 m

24.4 * 32 = 781 m
