Two cars start 200 m apart and drive toward each other at a steady 11 m/s. On the front of one of them, an energetic grasshopper jumps back and forth between the cars (he has strong legs!) with a constant horizontal velocity of 16 m/s relative to the ground. The insect jumps the instant he lands, so he spends no time resting on either car. Part A What total distance does the grasshopper travel before the cars hit? Express your answer using two significant figures. —| ΑΣΦ ?
