Re: Physics Question
So you have two equations where the distance is the same and the time is different by .75 seconds. The slower speed will be farther away.
343 * x+.75 = d
3000 * x = d
3000 * x = 343 * x+.75
3000x = 343x + 257.25
2657x = 257.25
x = .1 second
d = 3000 * .1 = 300m
d = 343 * .85 = 292m
There are rounding errors all over, but that is the basic idea I think.
