Question

fire work a travels at the speed 300 ft/s firework b travels 240 ft/s. firework b is launched 0.25s before firework a. how many seconds after firework b launches will both fireworks explode?

Answer 1

Both fireworks will explode after 1 seconds after firework b launches.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of fire work A= 300 ft/s

Speed of Firework B=240 ft/s

Time before which fire work b is launched =0.25s

To Find:

How many seconds after firework b launches will both fireworks explode=?

Solution:

Let t be the time(seconds) after which both the fireworks explode.

By the time the firework a has been launched, Firework B has been launch 0.25 s, So we can treat them as two separate equation

Firework A= 330(t)

Firework B=240(t)+240(0.25)

Since we need to know the same time after which they explode, we can equate both the equations

330(t) = 240(t)+240(0.25)

300(t)= 240(t)+60

300(t)-240(t)= 60

60(t)=60

`t=(60)/(60)`

t=1
