Two vehicles, separated by a distance of 450 m , travel in opposite directions toward a traffic light.
\n" ); document.write( " When will the vehicles pass one another if Vehicle A is travelling 35 km/h and is 300 m (E) of the traffic light while vehicle B is travelling 40 km/h.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "since we are dealing in km/hr, change 450 m to .45 km; and 300 m to .3 km
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When the two vehicles meet they will have traveled a total of 450m
\n" ); document.write( "let t = travel time of both vehicles when they meet
\n" ); document.write( "35t + 40t = .45
\n" ); document.write( "75t = .45
\n" ); document.write( "t = .45/75
\n" ); document.write( "t = .006 hrs, .006(3600) = 21.6 seconds
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " When will each vehicle pass the traffic light, assuming the light remains green the entire time?
\n" ); document.write( "time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "Find when vehicle A reaches traffic light (change hrs to sec)
\n" ); document.write( ".3/35 = .00857 * 3600 = 30.86 sec
\n" ); document.write( "Find when vehicle B reaches the traffic light
\n" ); document.write( "(.45-.3)/40 = .00375 * 3600 = 13.5 sec
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
