Answer:
After 3 hours.
Explanation:
This is a encounter problem.
We start by writing the position equation of both objects.
We assume that acceleration is equal to zero in both boats ⇒ They move with constant speed
We put the origin of coordinates in the harbour so after 6 hours the first boat travels
The first boat will be 42 mi far from the harbour.
The position equation for a motion with acceleration equal to zero is :
Where is initial position
v is the speed
t is time and is initial time
Then is time variation
For the first boat :
Because we set
For the second one :
In the encounter : x1(t) = x2(t) ⇒
So after 3 hours they have the same position relative to the harbour
We can check by replacing the value t = 3h in both position equations
For x1(t) :
For x2(t) :
Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:
A. change in climate
<span>B changes in the atmosphere </span>
<span>C changes in the fossil record </span>
<span>D changes in volcanic
</span>
The answer is <span>C. changes in the fossil record
