Hello, I had a physics question. "Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro that was stopped at the light accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s^2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled? I figured out how to do the question but I'm really confused on the units of the distance. I used the d = v/t formula and the vit + 1/2at^2 formula but the units I ended up getting were m^2/s^3 for distance when it should just be m.
