Kinematics Chasing Problem: Correct Answer and Explanation
I solved this and got 27.3 seconds so basically what I did was found the headtsart of the slower car (15.6 m/s times 6.65 seconds) but the answer given is 33.9 seconds and it uses the second (faster cars speed) to find the head start distance. Which answer is correct and why? Thanks so much- jerad908
