wo ships, one 200200 metres in length and the other 100100 metres in length, travel at constant but different speeds. When travelling in opposite directions, it takes 1010 seconds for them to completely pass each other. When travelling in the same direction, it takes 2525 seconds for them to completely pass each other. The speed of the faster ship, in metres per second, is

The speed of the faster ship is 22.5 m/s

Explanation:

The length of the ships are;

Ship 1 = 200 m

Ship 2 = 100 m

The time it takes for the ships to completely cross each other when travelling in opposite directions = 10 seconds

The time it takes both ships to cross each other when travelling in the same direction = 25 seconds

Let x represent the speed of the first ship, ship 1, and y represent the speed of the second ship, ship, 2, we have;

(x + y) × 10 = 200 + 100 = 300

10·x + 10·y = 300...(1)

(x - y) × 20 = 200 + 100 = 300

20·x - 20·y = 300...(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2, to get;

(x + y) × 10 × 2 = 300 × 2

20·x + 20·y = 600...(3)

Adding equation (1) to equation (3) gives;

20·x + 20·y + 20·x - 20·y = 600 + 300

40·x = 900

x = 900/40 = 22.5

x = 22.5

The speed of the first ship, ship 1 = x = 22.5 m/s

From equation (1), we have;

10·x + 10·y = 300

y = (300 - 10·x)/10 = (300 - 10×22.5)/10 = 7.5

y = 7.5

The speed of the second ship, ship 2 = y = 7.5 m/s

Therefore, the faster ship is ship 1 with a speed of 22.5 m/s
