Question 621615: if vehicle A is travelling at a speed of 100 km per hour and passes vehicle B travelling at 90 km per hour, what would the top speed that vehicle B would need to accelerate too, to catch vehicle A at the point of 200 meters and as a second senerio at 300mt. (which A is still travelling at 100 km/h)
Thanks

If vehicle A is traveling at a speed of 100 km per hour and passes vehicle B traveling at 90 km per hour, what would the top speed that vehicle B would need to accelerate too, to catch vehicle A at the point of 200 meters and as a second scenario at 300mt. (which A is still traveling at 100 km/h)
:
Car B has to cover the 200 meters in the same time as Car A which is going 100 km/h.
To average 100 km/hr it would have accelerate from 90 to 110 km/h
:
It would be the same top speed in the 2nd scenario of 300 meters, except the rate of acceleration would less
