The distance between motorcyclists moving towards each other is 1100m.

The distance between motorcyclists moving towards each other is 1100m. Determine where and when they will meet, if the speed of the 1st is 40 km / h, and the 2nd is 32 km / h.

Data: S (reference distance between riders) = 1100 m; V1 (speed of the first rider) = 40 km / h (in SI V1 = 11.11 m / s); V2 (speed of the second rider) = 32 km / h (in SI V2 = 8.89 m / s).

1) The meeting time of the considered motorcyclists: t = S / (V1 + V2) = 1100 / (11.11 + 8.89) = 55 s.

2) Meeting point:

a) the distance covered by the first rider: S1 = V1 * t = 11.11 * 55 = 611 m.

b) distance covered by the second rider: S2 = V1 * t = 8.89 * 55 = 489 m.
