Jerome starts at 50 meters east of the park gate and walks away from the gate at the speed of 1.11 meters per second. Noah starts at 57 meters east of the park gate and walks away from the gate at the speed of 0.97 meters per second in the same direction as Jerome. After walking for how many seconds will Noah and Jerome be side-by-side on the trail?

Respuesta :

Answer: After walking for 764.28 seconds they will side by side on the trail.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance walk by Jerome from the gate = 50 meters

Speed of Jerome = 1.11 m/sec

Distance walk by Noah from the gate = 57 meters

Speed of Noah = 0.97 m/sec

Since they are travelling in the same direction,

So, their Relative speed will be

[tex]1.11-0.97\\\\=0.14\ m/sec[/tex]

According to question, we need to find the time after walking Noah and Jerome will be side-by- side on the trail.

[tex]Time=\frac{Distance}{Ralative\ speed}\\\\time=\frac{50+57}{0.14}\\\\Time=764.28\ seconds[/tex]

Hence, After walking for 764.28 seconds they will side by side on the trail.
