If the rangefinder on the enterprise shows a fleeting shuttle craft 4,500 km away how long will it take to catch the shuttle if the shuttle travels at 12,000 mph and the enterprise is traveling at 15,000 kph
so this can be solve by using the formula D = rtwhere d is the distancer is the speedt is the time the time when the enterprise cath up with the shuttle is when they have the same distance. so we will equate there distance for the shuttle
D = 4500 + 12000hfor the enterpise D = 15000h so4500 + 12000h = 15000h4500 = 3000hh = 1.5 hours
