How will they have traveled the same distance and the same time if they are traveling at two different velocities? After t seconds wouldn't the boat with the higher velocity have covered more distance?
Two ferryboat each traveling at different constant speed start at the same instant from opposite sides of the Hudson River, one going from New York City to Jersey City and the other from Jersey City to New York City. They pass one another at a point 720 yard from New York City shore. After...
