To find: The time taken by two cyclists to meet at a point
Answer to Problem 9.9MPS
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Distance of the opposite end of course = 45 miles
Speed of one cyclist = 14mph
Speed of second cyclist = 16mph
Formula Used:
Calculation:
Let AB the course of length is 45miles
One cyclist starts from A with speed 14 mph and other start from B with speed of 16mph and both meet at point C.
Let AC be
Time taken by first cyclist to reach at C from A
Time taken by second cyclist to reach at C from B
Both cyclists will take same time to reach at C
So,
Therefore, time taken by both cyclists to meet at point C
Conclusion:
Thus they will meet after
