Distance 80348

A cyclist traveled 50 km in 2 hours. A car followed him from the same city and overtook the cyclist in an hour. At what speed was the car going, and at what distance did they meet?

Correct answer:

v2 =  75 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

s1=50 km t1=2 h  v1=s1/t1=50/2=25 km/h t2=1 h  s1=s2  v1 (t1+t2)=v2 t2 25 (2+1)=v2 1  v2=75  v2=175=75  v2=75=75 km/h
