Defining Intercept Conditions in Logistics
A logistics coordinator is modeling a scenario where an express delivery van is sent to intercept a transport truck that departed the warehouse 45 minutes earlier. To set up a system of equations for this 'catch-up' problem, what specific mathematical relationship must be true regarding the total distances traveled by both vehicles at the exact moment the van catches the truck?
