Question 251883: The thrust SSC is the worlds fastest land vehicle. Suppose the driver of a car whose top speed is 200 miles per hour requests a race against the SSC. The car gets a head start of one-half hour. If there is unlimited spaces to race, at what distance will the SSC pass the car Found 2 solutions by solver91311, richwmiller:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
200 mph car has one-half hour head start, so is 100 miles ahead when faster car starts. Subtract 200 from the speed of the faster car (which you didn't bother to share). How long would it take a vehicle traveling at the speed difference to go 100 miles?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not enough info. We only know that the 200 mph car has 30 minutes head start. We We don't have enough info on the SSC.
