To solve the problem of finding how long it takes for B to catch up with A again on a circular track, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify Key Information
- Track length ( L = 100 \, \text{m} ) (implied from the problem context).
- Speed of A: ( v_A = 4 \, \text{m/s} ).
- Speed of B: ( v_B = 6 \, \text{m/s} ).
Step 2: Relative Speed
Since both are moving in the same direction, the relative speed of B with respect to A is:
[ v_{\text{relative}} = v_B - v_A = 6 - 4 = 2 \, \text{m/s} ]
Step 3: Time to Catch Up
For B to catch up with A again, B must cover an extra full lap (100m) relative to A. Time is distance divided by relative speed:
[ t = \frac{\text{Extra distance}}{\text{Relative speed}} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 \, \text{seconds} ]
Answer: 50 seconds. (\boxed{50})
