The landmark could as well be a departure point from which the two cars leave at different times each at its own given speed, in the same direction.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Travel uniform rate equation R*T=D, for rate time distance;
\n" ); document.write( "let t = the time for the late, faster car, to catch-up to the earlier car\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "________________speed________time_________distance
\n" ); document.write( "Early car_______50___________t+1__________50(t+1)
\n" ); document.write( "Late car________70___________t____________70t\r
