AI Thread Summary
To calculate how long it will take for the opposing car to catch up while driving at 60 MPH, additional information is needed, including the distance between the two cars at the start and the speed of the other car. The basic formula involves determining the relative speed between the two vehicles and the distance that needs to be covered. If the other car is also traveling at 60 MPH, it will not catch up unless it accelerates beyond that speed. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of knowing the exact speed of the pursuing car and the initial distance to provide a precise answer. More data is essential for accurate calculations.

HELLO TO ALL... I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME OUT WITH THE FORMULA FOR THIS EXAMPLE: For Instance, If I am driving 60 MPH in one direction and another car from the opposite direction pulls a U-turn to Follow Me... How long will it take for him to catch up to Me?

These are the variables I know: My Speed, My Distance from point A to B.

Can someone please help me. Thanks In Advance

I think more data is needed for this problem in order for someone to chime in and assist me.

<---------------------------------------------> Total Distance 0.5 miles/880yards

<----------------------------------------------i Drive <- @Speed 65 MPH

A Car in this direction-----------------------> Must U-Turn to catch up <----------

WHAT FORMULA DO I USE TO FIGURE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE HIM TO CATCH UP TO ME AND AT WHAT SPEED IS HE DRIVING in order to CATCH UP?
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
