A vehicle covers a specific highway distance at 50 km/h. If it spikes its speed to 60 km/h, it clears the stretch 20 minutes early. Find the total distance.
Explanation:
Time difference = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours. Let distance be d. d / 50 - d / 60 = 1/3 => (6d - 5d) / 300 = 1/3 => d / 300 = 1/3 => d = 100 km.
Explanation:
Speed of B = 400 / 50 = 8 m/s. Distance covered by B when A crosses the finish line at 45 seconds = 8 * 45 = 360 meters. Winning margin = 400 - 360 = 40 meters.
Two locomotive train units of equal layout lengths pass a single track sign pole in 10 seconds and 15 seconds. If each train length tracks at 120 meters, find the time parameter to pass each other completely when running in opposite directions.
