Mathematical Problems
Traveling Bird ★★
Consider a road with two cars, at a distance of 100 kilometers, driving towards each other. The left car drives at a speed of forty kilometers per hour and the right car at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour. A bird starts at the same location as the right car and flies at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. When it reaches the left car, it turns its direction, and when it reaches the right car, it turns its direction again to the opposite, etcetera.
The question: What is the total distance that the bird has traveled at the moment that the two cars have reached each other?
