An experiment is conducted with two cars. The cars' motion is plotted in a position vs. time graph and their motion can be expressed with the following functions... xCar 1(t) = (-7.15 m/s)xt + 14.3 m xCar 2(t) = (12.4 m/s) xt - 138 m What happens at the intersection of the two lines? Calculate EXACTLY where and when that intersection happens. (Your answer must show proper significant figures)?
