After 1 hour the slower car will be 30 mph x 1 hour = 30 miles ahead of the faster car.

The faster car is travelling 45 mph - 30 mph = 15 mph faster than the slower car and so will cover this 30 miles in 30 miles ÷ 15 mph = 2 hours at which point it will have caught the slower car and start to over take it.

It can be. A bullet is traveling at the greatest speed when t leaves the barrel, and immediately starts to slow down. A rocket starts slowly, and moves faster and faster as the engines burn. To achieve orbit, the Space Shuttle would accelerate from zero to a speed of almost 28,968 kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour), a speed nine times faster than the average rifle bullet.
