a ford is traveling with a speed of 15m/s and is 200 meters ahead of a Chevy that is traveling in the same direction but at a speed of 20m/s. How far will the chevy travel before catching up to the Ford?

Respuesta :

Make an equation for both.
Ford= 15t+200
Chevy=20t
Now you must set them equal and solve for time t. Giving you 40 seconds. Now plug that in to the chevy equation to get 800 meters.
