Two dogs are standing 960 m apart from each other. The first dog runs at a speed of 9 m/s and the second runs at a speed of 7 m/s. If two dogs run towards each other, after how much time will they bump into each other?
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Given information:
- Distance between dogs: 960 m
- First dog's speed: 9 m/s
- Second dog's speed: 7 m/s
- Both dogs run towards each other
When two objects move towards each other, their speeds combine because both are closing the distance.
Combined speed m/s
Using the relationship between distance, speed, and time:
Time
Time
Time seconds
The two dogs will bump into each other after 60 seconds.
