Question 1192047
.
A car and a jeep are 7km apart. The car starts from rest and travels towards the jeep 
with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s^2. The jeep starts from rest and travels towards the car 
with an acceleration of 2.25 m/s^2. Where will they meet if they started at the same time?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Write the total distance equation as the sum of two partial distances for uniformly accelerated moves 
from each end

    {{{(3.5*t^2)/2}}} + {{{(2.25*t^2)/2}}} = 7000  meters.


It gives

    {{{5.75*t^2}}} = 14000

    {{{t^2}}} = {{{14000/5.75}}} = 2434.783

    t = {{{sqrt(2434.783)}}} = 49.34 seconds.    <U>ANSWER</U>
