Question
In the figure here, a red car and a green car move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car
is at x, = 0 and the green car is at xg = 220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 21.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 43.9 m.
On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 42.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.8 m. What are (a) the initial
velocity and (b) the (constant) acceleration of the green car? Include the signs.
