Randall D. Knight — Kinematics in One Dimension: Problem Problem_61

Ann and Carol are driving their cars along the same straight road. Carol is located at \(x = 2.4 \text{ mi}\) at \(t = 0 \text{ h}\) and drives at a steady \(36 \text{ mph}\). Ann, who is traveling in the same direction, is located at \(x = 0.0 \text{ mi}\) at \(t = 0.50 \text{ h}\) and drives at a steady \(50 \text{ mph}\). a. At what time does Ann overtake Carol? b. What is their position at this instant? c. Draw a position-versus-time graph showing the motion of both Ann and Carol.
