Question

In a historical movie, two knights on horseback start from rest 94m apart and ride directly toward each other to do battle. Sir George's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.22 m/s2, while Sir Alfred's has a magnitude of 0.27 m/s2. Relative to Sir George's starting point, where do the knights collide?

Answer 1

94=1/2 .22*t^2+1/2 .27 t^2

solve for t, the time of collision.

Then use that t to solve for distance traversed.

Answer 2

t=6.85seconds
d=???
