A bike and a tricycle travels on the same road but on opposite direction. The bike jolts from rest at t=0 and moves towards east with a constant acceleration of 6ft/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 50ft/s. Afterwards it maintains this speed. On the other hand, when t=0, the tricycle located 6000ft from the bike is traveling at a constant speed of 30ft/s. Determine the time and the distance traveled by the bike and tricycle when they pass each other Determine the time elapsed when they pass each other Determine the distance traveled by the bike when they pass each other.
