Directions 70274

Two runners train on a circular track that is 375 m long. When they start from the same place and run in opposite directions, they meet in 30 seconds. When they run in the same direction, they are 15 m apart in 30 seconds. What is the average speed of each of the runners?

Correct answer:

v1 =  6.5 m/s
v2 =  6 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

o=375 m t1=30 s t2=30 s s2=15 m  v1 t1+v2 t2=o v1 t2v2 t2=s2 v1 30+v2 30=375 v1 30v2 30=15  30v1+30v2=375 30v130v2=15  Row2Row1Row2 30v1+30v2=375 60v2=360  v2=60360=6 v1=3037530v2=3037530 6=6.5=6.5 m/s  v1=213=6.5 v2=6
