Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward eachother along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at v =0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t = 0 s. Cassiopeiamoves at a constant speed of v = 0.700 m/s. If they are initially separatedby 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald’s initial position as theorigin. How long will it take for them to collide?
