Question

Велосипедисти одночасно почали рух з однієї точки в протилежних напрямках.На скільки кілометрів вони віддаляться один від одного за 1 годину? За 2 години? За 3 години?

Answer 1

Calculation of Distance Between Cyclists Moving in Opposite Directions

When cyclists start moving from the same point in opposite directions, the distance between them increases at the combined rate of their speeds.

- For 1 hour: - The distance they will be apart after 1 hour can be calculated by adding their speeds together. - Let's assume one cyclist is moving at a speed of 10 km/h and the other at 15 km/h. The total distance they will be apart after 1 hour is 10 km/h + 15 km/h = 25 km.

- For 2 hours: - After 2 hours, the distance between them will be twice the distance calculated for 1 hour. - Using the previous example, after 2 hours, they will be 25 km/h * 2 = 50 km apart.

- For 3 hours: - Similarly, after 3 hours, the distance between them will be three times the distance calculated for 1 hour. - Using the previous example, after 3 hours, they will be 25 km/h * 3 = 75 km apart.

These calculations are based on the assumption that the cyclists maintain a constant speed in their respective directions.
