Answer:
Correct answer: D₁ = 277.78 m
Explanation:
Before colliding with car B, car A will cross the next distance:
D₁ = V₁ t
Before colliding with car A, car B will cross the next distance:
D₂ = V₂ t
The total distance is:
D = D₁ + D₂ => D = V₁ t + V₂ t => D = t (V₁ + V₂) => t = D / (V₁ + V₂)
t = 500 / (20 + 16) = 500 / 36 = 13.89 seconds
D₁ = V₁ t = 20 · 13.89 = 277.78 m
D₁ = 277.78 m
