    Car B travels a distance x after time t (measured in seconds) of

    x = (80 m/s) t

    so that at 6:40 AM (which is 40 min = 2400 s after the starting time of 6:00 AM), it will have moved

    (80 m/s) * (2400 s) = 192,000 m

    If we take t = 0 to refer to 6:40 AM, the cars’ respective positions x at time t are given by

    A: x = (280 m/s) t

    B: x = 192,000 m + (80 m/s) t

    (i) After 1 h = 3600 s, their positions are

    A: (280 m/s) * (3600 s) = 1,008,000 m

    B: 192,000 m + (80 m/s) * (3600 s) = 480,000 m

    away from the point X, so the distance between the two cars is

    1,008,000 m – 480,000 m = 528,000 m = 582 km

    (ii) Car A moves faster than car B, so A overtakes B as soon as their positions are equal, which happens for

    (280 m/s) t = 192,000 m + (80 m/s) t

    (200 m/s) t = 192,000 m

    t = (192,000 m) / (200 m/s)

    t = 960 s = 16 min

    So after 16 min, both cars have a position of

    (280 m/s) * (960 s) = 268,800 m = 268.8 km

    beyond point X.
