Homework Statement
Two projectiles, projected at the same time with the following attributes:
Object 1: Traveling 7 feet/per sec, accelerating -.25 feet/per sec
Object 2: Starting projected position is 80 feet ahead of object 1, traveling 4 feet/per sec, accelerating -.45 feet/per sec.
How far will these objects travel before they meet and how much time will it take for them to meet.
(As these objects slow, they can even reverse direction.)
Homework Equations
[tex]d=v*t[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]d=7fps*t[/tex]
[tex]d+80=4fps*t[/tex]
I'm not a physics student and unfortunately never was near that level of math, and my ability to take a further stab at this is rather limited. This is a generalized problem that I'm trying to learn how to resolve from my workplace.
I am very lost in how to set this up but really want to learn!
Thanks guys (and gals) for any assistance.
