At 10 a.m., a private Gulfstream
G650 takes off from New York, headed south to the Caribbean island of
St. Bart’s, traveling at a speed of Mach .9. At 11 a.m., a private
Gulfstream G550 takes off from St. Bart’s, headed north to New York,
traveling at Mach .885. Both jets fly at 50,000 feet on parallel flight
paths. When the aircraft pass each other somewhere over the Atlantic,
how long after seeing the G650 will the owner of the G550 kick himself
for not going top-of-the-line? (Answer should be expressed in nautical
miles.)
