A guy riding a buffalo is chasing you at a top speed of 50 km/h, you are well ahead of the rider by 2 km, but your speed is only 20 km/h. How much time do you have to come up with a better plan?
V1*t = V2*t + 2.
50*t = 20*t + 2.
30t = 2.
t = 0.06666 h = 4 Min.

Oops! The name is Henry.
To calculate the time you have before the guy riding the buffalo catches up to you, we need to determine the distance he has to cover to reach you at his speed of 50 km/h. Since you are already 2 km ahead of him, the distance he needs to cover is 2 km.
We can use the formula Time = Distance/Speed to find the time it would take for him to cover that 2 km distance at his speed of 50 km/h.
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 2 km / 50 km/h
To simplify the calculation, convert the speed from km/h to meters per second by multiplying by 1000/3600.
Speed = 50 km/h * (1000 m / 3600 s)
Speed = 50000 m / 3600 s
Speed ≈ 13.89 m/s
Now we can plug in the values into the formula:
Time = 2 km / 13.89 m/s
Time = 2000 m / 13.89 m/s
Time ≈ 143.66 seconds
Therefore, you have approximately 143.66 seconds or 2 minutes and 23.66 seconds to come up with a better plan before the guy riding the buffalo catches up to you.
