Ben starts walking along a path at 3 3 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 6 6 mi/h. How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

3 hours

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of Ben v_b = 3 mi/h

- The speed of Amanda v_a = 6 mi/h

- The total time taken to cover distance(d) by ben = t_b

Find:

How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

Solution:

- The distance d traveled by Ben:

                                 d = v_b*t_b

                                 d = 3*t_b

- The distance d traveled by Amanda:

                                 d = v_a*t_a

                                 d = 6*t_a

- Equate the distance as when they meet:

                                 3*t_b = 6*t_a

- Where ,

                                  t_b = t_a + 1.5

                                  t_a = t_b - 1.5

- Substitute the time relationship in distance relationship:

                                  3*t_b = 6*(t_b - 1.5)

                                  3*t_b = 6*1.5

                                      t_b = 2*1.5 = 3 h

- Hence, It would take 3 hours since Ben starts walking that amanda catches up.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
