"Particle A and Particle B are travelling along a straight line at constant speeds
and
respectively. Particle A is behind Particle B, but is travelling faster. When Particle A is exactly
metres behind Particle B, Particle A begins decelerating at
ms^-2.
1. Using calculus, find the speed of Particle A after it has travelled a distance of
metres under braking.
2. Given that
, prove that the particles will collide.
I'm struggling with Part 2 of this question. I've came up with an answer for Part 1, but I'm not sure if it's right.
