1. Situation: An SUV is parked along the side of a roadway, while a van is travelin adjacent to the SUV at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. At t=0, the SUV starts an accelerates at a constant rate. While the van begins to slow down with a constan rate of 1/5 that of the acceleration of the SUV at t=5. Believing that when the vehicles pass each other, the SUV has travelled 95 m, and that V(SUV) = V(van). Determin the: a. Acceleration of the SUV. b. Time when the 2 vehicles pass each other.

Question
1. Situation: An SUV is parked along the side of a roadway, while a van is traveling
adjacent to the SUV at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. At t=0, the suv starts and
accelerates at a constant rate. While the van begins to slow down with a constant
rate of 1/5 that of the acceleration of the SUV at t=5. Believing that when the 2
vehicles pass each other, the SUV has travelled 95 m, and that V(sUV) = V(van). Determine
the:
a. Acceleration of the SUV.
b. Time when the 2 vehicles pass each other.
c. Distance between the 2 vehicles at t=0.
