In a projectile, the horizontal acceleration is zero. The velocity remains constant at all times. However, the <u>vertical acceleration</u> is -9.81m/s^2.
Hope this helps!
Let the unknown distance be xmiles
x/39-x/72=11hr
72x-39x/2808=11hr
33x/2808=11
33x= 30888
x=936miles
U can substitue back to check
at speed of 72mph, he would need 936/72=13hrs
at speed of 39mph, he would need 936/39=24hr
the difference is 24-13=11
