Calculating rates of two points moving along a circle

[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 6787671, member: 1088"] If the two particles move in opposite directions, the [B]sum[/B] of their respective distances traveled in 5 seconds will be one full circumference length when they meet again. If the two particles move in the same direction, the faster particle will move ahead of the slower particle, hence the [B]difference[/B] between their respective distances traveled in 25 seconds will be one full circumference length when they meet again. Using this method, I get $v_1 = 18 \, ft/sec$ and $v_2 = 12 \, ft/sec$. You can check the results yourself. [/QUOTE]
