Question

You are sitting in your car at a red light when you see a zombie standing still 65m in front of your car. You both begin to accelerate towards each other. Your car accelerates at 1.8 m/s^2 and the zombie accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2. How long does it take for you to strike the zombie?

Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label known and unknown quantities with units, and coordinate system.

Thanks!

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

u₁ = 0 and u₂ = 0

a₁ = 1.8 m/s² and a₂ = 0.6 m/s²

Distance (d) = 65 m

Required:

The time taken to strike
