How long did it take the radio message sent from Arecibo in 1974 to overtake the pioneer spacecraft traveling at a speed of 10 kilometers per second which had been launched 2 years earlier in 1972?

Calculate the distance the spacecraft traveled, with the formula:
distance = speed x time
Then divide that distance by the speed of light, since radio waves travel at the speed of light.
You may have to do some unit conversions for both parts of the calculation.

How long will a train 100m long traveling at 72kmph take to overtake another train 200m long traveling at 54kmph?
The difference in speed is 72-54=18kmph which is converted to meters per second by multiplying by 1000 and dividing by 3600 = 5 m/s. Total distance is 300 metres which is 100+200, so time taken is 300/5=60 seconds or exactly one minute.
