Question 495141: Two cars travel toward each other at constant velocities. One is going 12 m/s, and the other 18 m/s. They are 3000m apart when we first see them.
I need to get all the information I can out of this problem. There is no question. I want to know where they with either run into or pass each other? And anything else this information can tell me.

Two cars travel toward each other at constant velocities. One is going 12 m/s, and the other 18 m/s. They are 3000m apart when we first see them.
-------------
Their closing rate is (10+18)m/s = 28 m/s
----
time = distance/rate
--
time = 3000m/28 = 107.17 seconds
The trains will meet in 107.17 sec
