A car leaves city A and goes to city B at 45 km / h.20 minutes later another car leaves city B and heads towards city A at 37 km / h, on the same road. How far apart are they from each other when they are 3 minutes away from each other?
You’re speeding at 85 km/h when you notice that you’re only 10 m behind the car in front of you, which is moving at the legal speed limit of 60 km/hr. You slam on your brakes, and your car negatively accelerates at 4.2 m/s2 . Assuming the other car continues at constant speed, will you collide? If so, at what relative speed? If not, what will be the distance between the cars at their closest approach?

Two cars are moving towards an intersection. One car is 150 meters north of the intersection and moving towards the intersection at 20 m/s, while the other is 180 meters west of the intersection and moving towards the intersection at 16 m/s.

Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
