Two cars A and B starts from rest at the same time and same point. Car A moves north at 5 m/second square for 5 sec and then moves at uniform velocity. Car B moves south accelerating 4m/second square for 8 second and then moves at uniform velocity. Calculate the distance between both the car after 20seconds
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Car A's distance for the 1st 5 seconds = at^2/2 = 5*5/2 = 12.5 meters
\n" ); document.write( "Then it's going a*t = 5*5 m/sec for 15 seconds = 375 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "In 20 seconds it goes 387.5 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Car B:
\n" ); document.write( "at^2/2 = 4*8/2 = 16 meters
\n" ); document.write( "v = at = 4*8 = 32 m/sec for the remaining 12 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "s = 16 + 32*12 = 400 meters
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Add the distances when going in opposite directions
\n" ); document.write( "s = 787.5 meters
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
\n" ); document.write( "PS Acceleration is m/sec/sec, not m/sec.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
