This is a question regarding time and distance that I used to know the answer for but have forgotten. Can anyone tell me how to calculate this, and the formula.
You are on a ship 100km away from an island. The ship travels at a constant speed of 10kph towards the island. On the ship is a helicopter that flys at 100kph. How many return trips to the island and back to the ship will the helicopter be able to make before the ship arrives at the island?
Disregard landing/take-off times, the need to re-fuel, winds, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
