Question Number 15100 by Tinkutara last updated on 07/Jun/17
A car A is travelling with a speed of 72  km/h on a straight horizontal road. It  is followed by another car B which is  moving with a velocity of 36 km/h.  When the distance between them is 25  km, the car A is given a deceleration of  2 ms^(−2) . After how much time will B  catch up with A?

   s_(rel) =−10(5+5(√2))+(1/2)(2)(5+5(√2))^2        =−50−50(√2)+25+50+50(√2)       =25 m.
$$\:\:\:{s}_{{rel}} =−\mathrm{10}\left(\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{5}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\left(\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{5}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:=−\mathrm{50}−\mathrm{50}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}+\mathrm{25}+\mathrm{50}+\mathrm{50}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:=\mathrm{25}\:{m}. \\ $$

the distance between the two cars is impossible 25 km
$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{distance}\:\mathrm{between}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{cars}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{impossible}\:\mathrm{25}\:\mathrm{km}\:\:\:\:\: \\ $$
