Will a bullet flying at a speed of 500 m / s overtake an aircraft at a speed of 900 km / s?

To determine whether a bullet will overtake an aircraft, it is necessary to bring their velocities to one unit of measurement. Since the main unit for measuring speed in the SI system is m / s, we will bring the speed of the aircraft to m / s, taking into account that 1 km is equal to 1000 m, and 1 hour is 3600 s.

900 km / h = 900 * 1000/3600 = 250 m / s.

Since 250 m / s is less than 500 m / s, the bullet will be able to overtake the plane.

Answer: The speed of the bullet allows you to overtake the plane.
