Question 1
A red car and a green car identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent
lanes and parallel to an x-axis. At time t=0, the red car is at Xr = 0 and the green car is at Xg
=220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 20km/hr, the cars pass each other at x=44.5 m,
and if it has a constant velocity of 40km/hr, they will pass each other at x =76.6 m.
a). Determine the time(s) associated with the motion of the red car.
b). derive the appropriate equations for the green car
c). What is
i. the initial velocity of the green car?
ii. The acceleration of the green car?
d). At what point will they meet if the velocity of the green car is twice that of the red car?
