Vehicle A is traveling at 65 mph and travels a total distance of 1.6 miles.
Vehicle B is setting at a standstill.
Vehicle B waits until Vehicle A is a half mile away from it and decides to intercept Vehicle A.
Vehicle B intercepts Vehicle A at the distance of 1.6 miles.
So, how fast is Vehicle B traveling when it intercepts Vehicle A?
:
The way I see this, Vehicle A travels 1.1 mi while Vehicle B travels 1.6 mi
let b = the average speed of vehicle b for that distance
Write a time equation: Time = dist/speed
+
1.1b = 1.6*65
1.1b = 104
b = 104/1.1
b = 94.55 mph average speed
Vehicle B = Accelerating from from a standing stop
let v = accelerated speed of B
= 94.55
v = 198.1 mph
