GRE数学运动问题介绍
Motion problems involve the linear movement of persons or objects over time. Fundamental to all GRE motion problems is the following simple and familiar foumula:
Distance(距离)= Rate(速度)X Time(时间)
Nearly every GRE motion problem falls into one of four categories :
(1) Two objects moving in opposite directions(反向运动):反向运动有两种,一是两个物体同时同地向相反的方向运动,二是两个物体同时但相隔一定距离向相反的方向运动。在上述任何一种情况下,d1 + d2 =d,这里d1和d2分别表示第一和第二个物体在一定的时间里移动的距离,d表示两个物体移动的距离之和。
(2) Two objects moving in the same direction(同向运动):亦称“追赶运动”,两个物体同时同地以不同的速度向相同的方向运动,被称为“同向运动”。
(3) One object making a round trip(往返运动):表示从某地出发再回到某地的运动。
(4) Perpendicular or Right-angle(垂直运动):指两个物体运动的方向相互垂直。For example, where one object moves in a northerly direction while another moves in an easterly direction. However, this type is really just as much a geometry as an algebra problem, because you determine the distance between the two objects by applying the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of a triangle’s hypotenuse.
GRE数学运动问题实例讲解
1. How far can Scott drive into the country if he drives out at 40 mph, returns over the same road at 30 mph, and spends eight hours away from home including a one-hour stop for lunch?
解:Scott实际的开车时间是7小时,这7小时 由两部分时间组成,一部分是他从家开车到 乡村所用的时间,另一部分是他从乡村返回 所用的时间。设他开车外出所用的时间为 X,则他返回所用的时间为7 — x,把这两个代数表达式代入运动公式可得:
Formula : Rate X Time = Distance
Going: (40)x = 40x
Returning: (30) (7 —x ) = 210—30x
因为Scott所做的是往返运动,所以来回距离相等,于是我们可得出下列方程:
40x = 210 —30x,所以x=3 即Scott在外出时,以40 mph的速度运行了3小时,也即根据题中条件他可以开车到120英里远的郊外。
2. At 9:00 a. m. train T left the train station and two hours later train S left the same station on a parallel track. If train T averaged 60 kilometers per hour and train S averaged 75 kilometers per hour until S passed T, at what time did S pass T?
(A) 2:00 p.m.
(B) 5:00 p.m.
(C) 6:00 p.m.
(D) 7:00 p.m.
(E) 9:00 p.m.
火车T于上午9:00离开车站,两小时后,火 车S离开同一车站,且运行在平行的轨道上。 若火车T的平均速度为60Km/h,火车S在 超过火车T之前的平均速度为75Km/h,在 几点钟S超过T?
解:本题的正确答案为(D)。设x小时后S追上T,此时两火车运行的距离相等,即:
(x + 2) • 60 = x • 75;x = 8,
S在T出发10小时后,即7:00 p.m 追上T。
