Given information:
- Distance between dogs: 960 m
- First dog's speed: 9 m/s
- Second dog's speed: 7 m/s
- Both dogs run towards each other
When two objects move towards each other, their speeds combine because both are closing the distance.
Combined speed =9+7=16 m/s
Using the relationship between distance, speed, and time:
Time =SpeedDistance
Time =16960
Time =60 seconds
The two dogs will bump into each other after 60 seconds.
