Question
Two automobiles A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t = 0, A and B are 3200 ft apart, their speeds are vA = 67 mi/h and vB = 38 mi/h, and they are at points P and Q, respectively. A passes point Q 40 s after B was there and B passes point P 42 s after A was there.
Determine the uniform accelerations of A and B.
