9. (3 points) On a 440-meter circular track, two people, A and B, start from the starting line at the same time. A runs 5 meters per second, and B runs 6 meters per second.
(1) If they run in opposite directions, they will meet in $\qquad$ seconds.
(2) If they run in the same direction, B will catch up to A in $\qquad$ seconds.
【Solution】Solution: (1) $440 \div(5+6)$,
$$
\begin{array}{l}
=440 \div 11, \\
=40 \text { (seconds); }
\end{array}
$$

Answer: If they run in opposite directions, they will meet in 40 seconds.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (2) } 440 \div(6-5) \text {, } \\
= & 440 \div 1, \\
= & 440 \text { (seconds); }
\end{aligned}
$$

Answer: If they run in the same direction, it will take 440 seconds for B to catch up with A. Therefore, the answers are: 40, 440.
