velocity of ship wrt dolphin=(10-5)=5m/s
distance for which it will be visible=50-30+length of ship
=50-30+70
=90m
time taken to cover 90m@5m/s=90/5=18s
dolphin will be visible for 18 seconds
i know d answer is 60 seconds....but i dont know d exact solution ..;plz help
The dolphin will be visible for a relative distance of 40+40+70 meters..
40 comes from the visibility factor...
70 is the length of the ship (orange)
use pythagoras to get 40 on both sides....
The black line has a length of 70+80=150
relative speed is 5
so the time will be 150/5 = 30 seconds
