Answer:
Therefore, after 12 minutes they will be 965 m far from each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Distance travelled by the first cyclist in 12 mins = 1200 m
Distance travelled by the second cyclist in 12 mins = 235 m
To Find :
How far are the two cyclists from each other after 12 mins
Solution :
Lets the downward direction be positive and the upward direction be negative
Thus,
Distance traveled by the 1st cyclist = + 1200 m
Distance travelled by the 2nd cyclist = - 235 m
Gap between them = 1200 + ( - 235 )
= 1200 - 235
= 965 m
