Question 653155: An airplane leaves an aircraft carrier and files south at 350 miles per hour. the carrier travels south at 25 miles per hour. If the wireless communication range of the airplane is 700 miles, when will it lose touch with carrier? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = time duration from takeoff until
communication is lost
I can think of this as the carrier being stationary
and the plane flying at the difference of their speeds
The plane will lose touch with the carrier in
2 hrs 9 min 14 sec
