Two cars are heading toward one another. The cars were initially at rest and separated by a distance of 1400 m. Car A is moving with an acceleration of 11 m/s2. Car B is moving with an acceleration of -3 m/s2. Assume that they are on the x-axis.
A) At what elapsed time, in seconds, do the cars meet?
B) What is the displacement, in meters, of Car A at the time the cars meet?
C) What is the displacement, in meters, of Car B at the time the cars meet?
D) Now, assume that both cars start with an initial velocity. Car A's initial velocity is vA,0 = 44 m/s and Car B's initial velocity is (v_\text{B,0}\) = -26 m/s. At what time, in seconds, do they meet?
