Homework Statement
A red car with speed 30.0m/s and a blue car with speed 25.0m/s are initially 200m apart and heading toward each other on a one-liner road. The brakes on the red car can produce an acceleration of 3.40m/ss while the breaks on the blue car can produce an acceleration of 3.25m/ss.
A) Do the cars collide? If yes, where?
B) If they collide find speed of each car upon collision.
Homework Equations
I found out both cars' locations if the final velocity is 0, I also found where the time it takes each car to have a velocity of 0. The red car reaches v=0 at 132m and the blue car reaches v=0 at 103.8 m. So clearly they crash because 103.8 < 132. How do I find out WHERE they crash?
