Two particles are at the same point at the same time, moving in the same direction. particle a has an initial velocity of 7.6 m/s and an acceleration of 2.6 m/s 2 . particle b has an initial velocity of 3.4 m/s and an acceleration of 5.8 m/s 2 . at what time will b pass a?

2.625 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

For particle A

For particle B

Now, the displacement should be same if they are about to cross each other.

At 2.625 seconds the particles would have covered equal distances after which B would pass A.
