Question

Car A is moving to the right at 0.5m/s. Meanwhile, Car B, which is 6 meters to the right of car A

is moving to the left at 0.25m/s. Looks like they’re going to have a head-on collision. Predict the location of the collision.

Expert Solution

Step 1

$Velocity of car A = 0.5 \frac{m}{s} t o w a r d s r i g h t Velocity of car B = 0.25 \frac{m}{s} t o w a r d s l e f t Distance between both the cars (d) = 6 m Since both the cars are moving in opposite directions, therefore relative velocity = 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75 \frac{m}{s}$
