Two cars are travelling towards each other on a straight road at velocities 15 m//s and m//s respectively. When they are 150 m apart both the drivers apply the brakes and the car decelerate at 3 m//s^(2) and 4 m//s^(2) until they stop separation between the cars when they come to rest is

two cars approach each other on a straight road. Car A moves at 16 m//s and car B moves at 8m//s. When they are 45 m apart both drivers apply their brakes. Car A slows down at . 2 m//s^(2) . While car B slows down at 4 m//s^(2) . Where and when do they collide?

On a foggy day, the two cars are approaching each other on a straight road, with speeds 72 km h^(-10 and 54 km h^(-1) . The drivers of the cars spot other when they were 60 meres apart. Both of them applied brakes, retarding their cars at of 6 ms^(-1) . Predict whether they will avert collision or not.

Two trans one t ravelling at 54 kmph and the other at 72 kmph are headed towards one another along a straingt track. When they are 1//2 km apart, both drivers simultaneously seee the other train and apply their brakes. If each train is decelerated at the rate of 1 m//s^(2) , will there be a collision ?

Two cars a and B starts motion with a velocity of 10 m//s and 20 m//s respectively.
