Sikorsky helicopter

The American concern United Technologies is testing the Sikorsky X2 helicopter, which can fly at a record speed of 464 km/h. How long would it take an F22 Raptor fighter flying at a supersonic speed of 1,856 km/h to catch up with a Sikorsky X2 helicopter if it took off from the exact location 135 minutes later?

Final Answer:

t =  45 min

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=464 km/h v2=1856 km/h  s1=s2 v1 (t+135)/60 = v2 t/60  v1 (t+135)=v2 t 464 (t+135)=1856 t  1392t=62640  t=139262640=45  t=45=45 min
