Two cars are heading towards one another. Car A is moving
with an acceleration
of aA = 4 m/s2.
Car B is moving with an acceleration
of aB = -14 m/s2.
The cars are initially at rest and separated by a
distance d = 4400 m on
the x-axis.
(a) At what time, in seconds, do the
cars meet?
t =
(b) What is the displacement, in
meters, of Car A?
xA =
(c) What is the displacement, in
meters, of Car B?
xB =
(d) Now assume that both cars start
with an initial velocity. Car A's initial velocity
is v0A = 47 m/s and Car B's
initial velocity
is vB = -26 m/s. At what
time, t2 in seconds, do they
meet?
t2 =
