Hello! Please can someone explain or give the answer to part B on the question, https://isaacphysics.org/questions/overtaking - I have worked out the answer to part A as 31.1s. Thanks
Speed of car 26.8m/s Speed of a car going in the opposite direction 26.8m/s The cars are getting closer to each other at the rate of 26.8x2 m/s ...53.6 m/s The car spends 31s on the wrong side of the road So whats the minimum distance to the oncoming car at the start of the 31s that ensures the cars do not crash?
