. Two kittens are on opposite sides of a field, 250 m apart. Kitten A runs at a constant speed of 25 m/s due east on a collision course with kitten B, which is traveling west at 12 m/s. How much time elapses before the two kittens collide?
The distance dividing the two is 250 m The kittens' velocities will be added as they are approaching one another. Resultant velocity = 25 + 12 = 27 m/s Time = distance / speed Time = 250 / 27 = 9.26 seconds
