iran-konkur · Other · konkur-riazi_1402_tir_specialized Constant acceleration (SUVAT) Two bodies meeting or catching up
47. Car A moves at a constant speed of $8\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}$ along a straight path, and car B moves behind it at a constant speed of $20\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}$ in the same direction. When the distance between them decreases to 46 meters, car A begins to decelerate with a constant acceleration of $2\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}$ and simultaneously car B also decelerates with a constant acceleration of $4\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}$. What is the speed of car B at the moment it reaches car A, in meters per second?
