wo fan carts with different fan speeds and different accelerations are started from rest some
distance from one another.
Cart A begins at position 0 with a velocity of zero and an acceleration of aA to the right.
Cart B begins at position xB with a velocity of zero and an acceleration of aB to the left.
1. Draw a qualitative position-time graph to represent the situation.
2. Develop an algebraic expression in terms of the variables below that will predict exactly where the carts will meet, indicated by xf.
i don't know how to go about solving this.. help?

Write position vs. time equations for A and B, and set them equal. Then solve for t. It will the time when they meet.
