Two particles

A

and

B

are moving along the

x

-axis at constant accelerations of

6 \text{ ms}^{-2}

and

4 \text{ ms}^{-2}

respectively. At time

t = 0

, their positions are at

x = -20 \text{ m}

and

x = +40 \text{ m}

while their velocities are

20 \text{ ms}^{-1}

and

24 \text{ ms}^{-1}

respectively. Will they meet? If yes, at what time and position?
