Question
A body starts from x0 = 5m with velocity u = 10 m/s and B body starts from x0' = 10 m and with velocity u' = 5 m/s. Can we find when and where A will overtake B from graph? Explain.
Solution
For body A,
Initial distance, xo = 5 m
Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s
For body B,
Distance,xo' = 10 m
velocity, u' = 5 m/s
From the graph, point where the position time graphs of two bodies meet, corresponds to position and time where the A will overtake B.
Initial distance, xo = 5 m
Initial velocity, u = 10 m/s
For body B,
Distance,xo' = 10 m
velocity, u' = 5 m/s
From the graph, point where the position time graphs of two bodies meet, corresponds to position and time where the A will overtake B.
