Answer

$254s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required time as follows: $f_1^{\prime} v-f_2^{\prime}v=f_1^{\prime} u+f_2^{\prime}u$ This can be rearranged as: $u=(\frac{f_1^{\prime}-f_2^{\prime}}{f_1^{\prime}+f_2^{\prime}})v$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $u=(\frac{460-410}{460+410})(343)$ $u=19.7m/s$ Now $t=\frac{d}{u}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{5.0\times 10^3}{19.7}$ $t=254s$
