In a horse race, horse 2 passes horse 1 at point A, where the two velocities are v₂ = m 7™ and v₁ = 6.8″. Horse 1 later passes horse 2 at point B and goes on to win the race at S = point C, 400 m from A. The elapsed times from A to C for horse 1 and horse 2 are t₁ 61.5 s and t₂ = 62.0 s, respectively. Assuming uniform accelerations for both horses between A and C, determine the distance from A to B, the position of horse 1 relative to horse 2 when horse 1 reaches the finish line C.
