Question

A thief is running in a jeep with a speed of 10m/s. A police van chases him with a speed of 12 m/s. If the instantaneous separation of the jeep from the police van is 80 m, how long will it take for the police to catch the thief? no spam pls

Answer 1

40 seconds
time=80/(12-10)
time=80/2
time=40

We know that,

$time = \frac{separation \: between \: them}{relative \: velocity \: of \: approach}$

$= \frac{80}{(10 - 2)} = \frac{80}{2} = 40 \: sec$
