Question

Two particles A and B move with constant velocity about the same axis ?̂ in the opposite direction.
opposite such that at t = 0 s when particle B passes through Q its velocity is 5.0 m/s;
particle A passes through point P, it has a velocity of 6.0 m/s. The distance between the points
P and Q is 142 m. Determine the constant decelerations which must be applied by both particles
stop simultaneously to avoid collision (when they stop the distance between the particles is zero).
between the particles is zero).
