Two automobiles A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t A and B are 3200 ft 0, apart, their speeds are vA 65 mi/h and vB 40 mi/h, and they are at Points P and Q, respectively. Knowing
that A passes Point Q 40 s after B was there and that B passes Point P 42 s after A was there, determine (a) the uniform accelerations of A and B, (b) when the vehicles pass each other, (c) the speed of B at that time.
