Question

Alexis moves with a constant speed of 1.40 m/s and passes an apartment building in a moment. Lourdes finds herself in front of a church and bikes out to meet Alexis just as he passes the apartment building. If the magnitude of Lourdes' acceleration is 0.125 m/s2 and the building is separated from the church by a distance ? = 400 m, calculate:
