Yellow car

The animation shows a short time interval of the motions of two cars.

  1. When (time) and where (position) is the purple car ahead of the yellow car?
  2. Draw graphs of the position vs time of the cars to illustrate the situation and the solutions. Describe the motion of the two cars in relation to each other over the interval -3 < t < 3.
  3. What was the position of the yellow car at t = 4?    
  4. What was the position of the purple car at t = 4?
