A stunt coordinator is designing a boat chase where two boats drive towards each other at a high speed. On camera it will look like they will crash, but they will safely miss each other. At the moment they meet, an explosion will be set off so that it appears as if they burst into a ball of fire putting the survival of our Adventuresome Hero is doubt. The stunt coordinator needs to know precisely when and where the boats will pass so that everything appears on screen as written in the script. Our Adventuresome Hero is in a boat moving at 12 m/s, his Worthy Adversary races towards him in a boat traveling at 17 m/s. Initially, the boats are separated by 97 m of open water. Lights! Camera! Action! They race towards each other... The two boats will pass each other after -------seconds have elapsed. Our Adventuresome Hero will travel --------meters before they meet. His Worthy Adversary will travel-------- meters before they meet.
