A bicyclist heads east at 20 km/h. After she has traveled 20.8 kilometers, another cyclist sets out in the same direction going 28 km/h. About how long will it take the second cyclist to catch up to the first cyclist

Answer 1

Hence,the time it takes the second cyclist to catch up to the first cyclist will be 2.6 h.

What is velocity?

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  Velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component.

$\rm D_{rel}= V_{rel}\times t_{rel} \\\\ \rm D_{rel}= (V_1-V_2)\times t_{rel} \\\\ T_{rel}=\frac{D_{rel}}{V_1-V_2} \\\\ T_{rel}=\frac{20.8}{28-20} \\\\ T_{rel}= 2.6 \ h$

The time it takes the second cyclist to catch up to the first cyclist will be 2.6 h.
