Two bumper cars move in a straight line with the following equations of motion: x1 = -4.0 m + (1.1 m/s )t x2 = 8.8 m + (-2.9 m/s )t what time do they collide?

The time they collide will be "3.2 s".

The given equations are:

According to the question, when the two bumper cars have the same position then,

3.2 seconds

Explanation:

When the cars collide, they have the same position.

x₁ = x₂

-4 + 1.1t = 8.8 − 2.9t

4t = 12.8

t = 3.2

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
