Automobiles A and B are traveling in adjacent highway lanes and at t = 0 have the positions and speeds shown. Knowing that auto- mobile A has a constant acceleration of 1.8 ft/s² and that B has a constant deceleration of 1.2 ft/s², determine (a) when and where A will overtake B, (b) the speed of each automobile at that time. (vA)o = 24 mi/h (vB)0= 36 mi/h A В 75 ft - x
