Answer:
285 seconds
Explanation:
Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s
Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s
Alyssa starts after 15 seconds
Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts
Distance=Speed*time
Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m
Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;
4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s
To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two
Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s t=57/0.2 =285 seconds
=4.75 minutes
If the girl is also near the source of the sound, two alike sets of sounds will be heard.
