A cheetah running 90 feet per second is 100 feet behind a gazelle that is running 70 feet per second. How long will long will it take the cheetah to catch up to the gazelle.
Let t be the time taken by cheetah to catch up to the gazelle.
In t sec cheetah run 90t feet.
In t sec gazelle run 70t feet.
90t-100 =70t.
90y-70t=100.
20t=100.
t=100/20
=5 sec.
After 5 seconds cheetah catch up to the gazelle.
