Question

Two skateboarders start a race at the same time skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second skateboarder B travels at a steady rate of 22 feet per second after 4 minutes how much farther will skateboarder B have traveled?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative speed can play a major role in creating distance between two bodies. If the relative speed between two bodies is 0, then both the bodies are moving in the same direction with a similar speed. Thus, After 4 minutes, 1680 feet farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

Skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second.

Skateboarder B travels at a steady rate of 22 feet per second.

We need to determine that after 4 minutes, how much farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

The formula for finding the distance travelled by anybody is represented below

Time is given that is 4 minutes which means 240 seconds.

Thus,

Distance travelled by skateboarder A

Distance travelled by skateboarder B.

Therefore, the separation of the distance between both the skateboarders is 5280 - 3600 = 1680.

Thus, After 4 minutes, 1680 feet farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.
