Question 936943: the thrust SSC is the world's fastest land vehicle at 763 mph. Suppose the driver of a car whose top speed is 200 mph requests a race. The car gets a head start of one half hour. At what distance will the SSC pass the car?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First find the time at which they meet.
Distance for the 200 mph car:
Distance for SSC:
Equate the distances,
In that time,
