Compute the distance between the vehicles


Solve the below problem:

Q: Car A is parked along the northbound lane of a highway, and car B is traveling in the southbound lane at a constant speed of 96 km/h. At t = 0, A starts and accelerates at a constant rate aA, while at t = 5 s, B begins to slow down with a constant deceleration of magnitude aA/ 6. Knowing that when the cars pass each other x = 90 m and vA =vB, determine

(a) The acceleration aA,

(b) When the vehicles pass each other,

(c) The distance between the vehicles at t =0.
