Two motorcycles are at rest and separated by 24.5 ft. They start at the same time in the same direction, the one in the back having an acceleration of 3 ft. per sec^2, the one in the front going slower at an acceleration of 2 ft. per sec^2. (a) How long does it take for the faster cycle to overtake the slower? (b)How far does the faster machine go before it catches up? (c) How fast is each cycle going at this time?
