Problem

Car A and Car B are 200 m200\,\text{m} apart on a straight, level road and move directly toward each other. At the instant they start moving, Car A is at rest and begins to accelerate toward Car B at 2.0 m/s22.0\,\text{m/s}^2, while Car B already travels toward Car A at a constant 15 m/s15\,\text{m/s}. Determine the time after Car A starts moving at which the cars pass each other. Give your answer in seconds.
