Question

Из поселка в город выехал мотоциклист со скоростью 60 км/ч. В то же время ему на встречу выехал велосипедист со скоростью 15 км/ч. Они встретились через 2 часа. 1)Кто был ближе до города, когда они встретились мотоциклист или велосипедист? 2)Какое расстояние от города до поселка?

Answer 1

60+15=75 км/ч ск. сближения
75*2=150 км расстояние  между городом и поселком
15*2=30 км 
60*2=120 км  ближе до города

Answer 2

Who was closer to the city when the motorcyclist and the cyclist met?

To determine who was closer to the city when the motorcyclist and the cyclist met, we need to compare the distances traveled by each of them.

The motorcyclist traveled at a speed of 60 km/h for 2 hours, so the distance he covered is:

Distance_motorcyclist = Speed_motorcyclist * Time = 60 km/h * 2 hours = 120 km.

The cyclist traveled at a speed of 15 km/h for 2 hours, so the distance he covered is:

Distance_cyclist = Speed_cyclist * Time = 15 km/h * 2 hours = 30 km.

Therefore, the motorcyclist was closer to the city when they met, as he covered a greater distance.

What is the distance from the city to the village?

To calculate the distance from the city to the village, we need to consider the total distance covered by both the motorcyclist and the cyclist.

Since they met after 2 hours, we can add their individual distances to find the total distance:

Total_distance = Distance_motorcyclist + Distance_cyclist = 120 km + 30 km = 150 km.

Therefore, the distance from the city to the village is 150 km.
