Question Number 59505 by pete last updated on 11/May/19
Two particles P and Q move towards each  other along a straight line MN, 51 meters  long. P starts fromM with velocity 5 ms^(−1)   and constant acceleration of 1 ms^(−2) . Q starts  from N at the same time with velocity 6 ms^(−1)   and at a constant acceleration of 3 ms^(−2) .  Find the time when the:  (a) particles are 30 metres apart;  (b) particles meet;  (c) velocity of P is (3/4) os the velocity of Q.
