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?
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.
