Question

A bus has velocity 20m/s towards east and another bus has velocity 15m/s in West direction.If they start to move from a point simultaneously.What distances do they covered in 2 minutes.​

Answer 1

4200m

Explanation:

If two objects A and B are moving in the opposite direction with speed xm/s and ym/s respectively,then;

Relative speed =(x+y)m/s

: Relative speed = 20+15=35m/s

time =2min=160sec

DISTANCE=SPEED ×TIME

D=35×120=4200

4200m

Answer 2

4,200 m or 4.2 km.

First bus: 2400 m

2nd bus: 1800 m.

Explanation:

Their combines speed is 20+15 = 35m/s.

Distance = speed * time

2 minutes = 120 seconds so

D = 35 * 120

= 4200 m.

Splitting the distances:

The first bus covers 20 * 120 = 2400m

The second bus covers 15*120 = 1800m.
