Maths4U Original · Short practice

At \(\displaystyle t=0, A\) is at \(\displaystyle x=0\) and moves right at constant speed \(\displaystyle \frac{7m}{s}.B\) is \(98\) m behind A, initially has the same rightward velocity, and then accelerates right at \(\displaystyle \frac{4m}{s^{2}}\). Both clocks start at this instant.

Find the positive time when B catches A, in s.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. Use the requested units and positive direction; enter the number without its unit. Angles here use degrees. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
