Question

Two ships leave the seashore at the same time, the first ship due west and the second due
north. The speed of the first ship is 50 km/h more than the speed of the second ship. If the
distance between the ships after 2 hours is 500 km, find the speed of each ship.

Answer 2

The speed of the first train is given which is 50 km/hr and of second is 244.94 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

First,

            the distance travelled by the first train = speed x time

                                       = 50 x 2

                                       = 100 km

   From pythagoras theorem,

                           d = $\sqrt{500^{2} - 100^{2} }$

where, d is the distance travelled by the second train.

                              = 489.90 km

So,

                          Speed of second train = $\frac{distance}{time}$

                                                     = $\frac{489.90}{2}$

                                                     = 244.94 km/hr
