Question

Two particles 1 and 2 move along the x axis. The position (x) - time (t) graph for particle 1 and velocity (v) - time (t) graph for particle 2 has been shown in the figure. Find the time when the two particles collide. Also find the position (x) where they collide. It is given that `x_(0) = ut_(0)`, and that the particle 2 was at origin at `t = 0`.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `t = (2-sqrt(2)) t_(0); x = (sqrt(2) -1) x_(0)`
