The car develops a speed of up to 160 km / h, and a carrier pigeon – up to 16 m / s. Will the pigeon be able to overtake the car?
Task data: V1 (maximum speed that the car can develop) = 160 km / h; V2 (maximum speed of the pigeon) = 16 m / s.
To compare the speeds of a car and a carrier pigeon, let us reduce their values to one unit of measurement – m / s.
Vehicle speed: V1 = 160 km / h = 160 * 1000/3600 = 44.44 m / s. V1 (44.44 m / s)> V2 (16 m / s), therefore, the pigeon will not be able to catch up with the car.
Answer: When driving at maximum speeds, the pigeon will not catch up with the car.
