A car and a jeep are 7km apart. The car starts from rest and travels towards the jeep
with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s^2. The jeep starts from rest and travels towards the car
with an acceleration of 2.25 m/s^2. Where will they meet if they started at the same time?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Write the total distance equation as the sum of two partial distances for uniformly accelerated moves 
from each end

     +  = 7000  meters.


It gives

     = 14000

     =  = 2434.783

    t =  = 49.34 seconds.    ANSWER

Solved.
