A boat sails along the shore. To an observer, the boat appears to move at a speed of 11 m/s, and a man on the boat walking forward appears to have a speed of 12.4 m/s. How long does it take the man to move 6 m relative to the boat? A. 0.48 s B. 4.29 s C. 0.55 s D. 1.5 s

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. 4.29s

Explanation:

If the man appears to move 12.4m/s when the boat appears to move 11m/s, it means that the man moves 1.4m on the boat (12.4-11=1.4). So if the man moves 1.4m per second then it will take him 6/1.4=4.29s to move 6 m relative to the boat.

Hope this helped!
