Automobiles A and B shown in below are traveling in adjacent highway lanes and
at t = 0 have the positions and speeds shown. Knowing that automobile A has a
constant acceleration of 0.60 m/s? and that B has a constant deceleration of 0.35
m/s?, determine (a) when and where A will overtake B, (b) the speed of each
automobile at that time.
(Va)o = 14.92 km/h
(Vg)o = 22.87km/h
A
22.37 m
