Answer to Question #224568 in Physics for Ope

Question

Two cars start 200 meters apart and drive twords each other car A has a constant speed of 5 m/s and car B has a constant speed of 10 m/s determine where and when they will meet

Answer 1

The relative speed of the car A with respect to car B

$$v=v_A+v_B=5\:\rm m/s+10\:\rm m/s=15\:\rm m/s$$

Hence, the time of motion to the meet

$$t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{200\:\rm m}{15\:\rm m/s}=13.3\:\rm s$$
