Question 897178: Two planes are 1530 mi apart and are traveling toward each other. One plane is traveling 140 mph faster than the other plane. The planes pass each other in 1.5 h. Find the speed of each plane. Answer by thesvw(77) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the 2 planes are coming to each other... The sum of their velocities are equal to the the velocity that both of them getting closer.
Lets think ones velocity is x. Others should be (x+140)
Their sum should be equal to the relative velocity from earth.
(2x +140) mph
So we can write it with the distance and time.
mph
So it's the first planes Velocity and the others Ones is 580 mph
