Question
Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of 55 mi/h and the other at 60 mi/h. Assuming they start at the same point, how much sooner does the faster car arrive at a destination 6 mi away? How far must the faster car travel before it has a 15-min lead on the slower car?

At time t=0, the red car is at Xr = 0 and the green car is at Xg =220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 20km/hr, the cars pass each other at x=44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40km/hr, they will pass each other at x =76.6 m. a). Determine the time(s) associated with the motion of the red car. EV b). derive the appropriate equations for the green car. APc). What is i. the initial velocity of the green car? AN ii.
