Question

A car is moving towards east with the velocity of 20 m/s and another is moving towards west with tre velocity 15 m/s. if those
cars start to move simultaneously from the same place calculate the distance covered by them in 2 minutes calculate also calculate the distance between them


​

Answer 1

I'll call "car A" the car with the velocity of 20 m/s and the other I'll call "car B".

the distance covered by Car A:

$ΔS = v \times t$

$ΔS = 20 \times 120$

$ΔS = 2400 \: m$

the distance covered by Car B:

$ΔS = v \times t$

l

$ΔS = 15 \times 120$

$ΔS = 1800 \: m$

The distance between them:

They are moving in opposite directions, so:

$S = S1 + S2$

$S = 2400 + 1800$

$S = 4200 \: m$
