Answer:
7,166 hrs =430 minutes
Explanation:
Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule
1 h --->120mi
X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.
As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.
The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.
We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.
The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.
Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time
S = v × t
= 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours
= 2310 miles.
Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.
