Two carts, labeled A and B, roll on a horizontal track with no friction. The carts are separated by a distance d = 2.2 meters before
they start moving. Cart A will be pushed to the right (toward cart B) by a fan on Cart A. Cart B will be pushed to the left (toward
cart A) by a fan on Cart B. Both carts are initially at rest and the fans are turned off (so they are not pushing the carts yet).
When the fan on Cart A is turned on, Cart A begins to accelerate to the right with a constant acceleration of 0.42 m/s?. The fan on
Cart B is turned on exactly 0.5 seconds after the fan on Cart A. When the fan on Cart B is turned on, Cart B begins to accelerate to
the left with a constant acceleration of 0.82 m/s².
How long (in seconds) after the fan on Cart A is turned on do the two carts bump into each other?
