Chapter 6, Problem 4ICA
Two cargo trains each leave their respective stations at 1:00 p.m. and approach each other, one traveling west at 10 miles per hour and the other on separate tracks traveling east at 15 miles per hour. The stations are 100 miles apart. Find the time when the trains meet, and determine how far the eastbound train has traveled.

- This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A motorist starts from rest at Point A on a circular entrance ramp when t = 0, increases the speed of her automobile at a constant rate and enters the highway at Point B. Her speed continues to increase at the same rate until it reaches 85 km/h at Point C. Determine the speed at Point B. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The speed at Point B is km/h. Note: please show step by step solution. Hence, double check the solution. For correction purposes!. I require handwritten working out please!. Kindly, please meticulously, check the image for conceptual understanding and for extra information purposes!. Also on occasions, I receive wrong answers!!.
