Question: 2 . 1 . 2 3 . [ Level 2 ] In this problem we'll examine a two - car system similar to that of

2.1.23.[Level 2] In this problem we'll examine a two-
car system similar to that of Exercise 2.1.22. Again, both
cars A and B are initially traveling to the right at 98fts. In
this case the following car has worse brakes than the car in
front, thus making it more difficult to avoid a collision when
the lead car starts braking. At t=0 the driver in car B
sees an accident taking place ahead of him and jams on his
brakes, causing a deceleration of 35fts2. It takes 1 s for the
driver of car A to react to this and begin braking with a
deceleration of 30fts2. The initial separation between the
cars is 30 ft . Determine whether or not car A collides with
car B. If it does, what is the relative collision speed?
