Two runners A and B are headed towards the finish line. At some point in time, both runners are 100m away from the finish line, with runner A running at a constant speed of 5 m/s and running B running 3 m/s, accelerating at a constant acceleration a. What should be the acceleration a such that runner A finishes within half a second that B does? HINT: The answer should be a range of values.
