Question

A jet plane traveling at 550 mph overtakes a propeller plane traveling at 200 mph that had a 2-hour head start. How far from the starting point are the planes?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

The speed of the jet plane is J=550 mph.

The speed of the propeller plane is P=200 mph.

The additional time propeller plane got is t'=2 hr.

The expression for the distance traveled by the jet plane when it meets with the propeller plane is,

$D = J \times t$

Substitute the given value in the above expression.

$\begin{array}{rcl} D & = & (550) (t) \\ = & 550 t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (I) \end{array}$
