Homework Statement
Sean and Steven are 1500 m apart from each other. Sean starts biking towards Steven accelerating from rest at a rate of 2 m/s2 until he reaches a cruising speed of 18 m/s. Steven begins rollerblading towards Sean, accelerating from rest at 1 m/s2 until he reaches a cruising speed of 12 m/s.
When and where do they meet?
Homework Equations
Vf = Vi + at
The Attempt at a Solution
I did as my teacher said, used that to get the times at which they started to cruise at the constant velocity, then graphed it. And the area of the velocity graph = distance travelled, so I made them equal each other..
Sorry if this isn't the right format or anything, I've just been working on this one question for like 2 hours and I just can't get it, and it's probably something so simple that I'm missing.
