Two trucks travel along the highway at a speed of 60 km / h, the distance between them is 360 meters.

Two trucks travel along the highway at a speed of 60 km / h, the distance between them is 360 meters. When the truck turns onto a country road, its speed is reduced to 20 km / h. How many meters will there be between trucks on a country road?

First, we find the time it will take for the second truck to get to the country road.
To do this, we divide the distance between them by the speed of movement.
360 meters = 0.36 km.
We get:
0.36 / 60 = 0.006 hours.

We find the distance that the first truck will cover in a given time.
To do this, we multiply its speed by the travel time.
We get:
20 * 0.006 = 120 meters.

This distance corresponds to that which is formed between two trucks before the second one approaches a country road.
