There are two football players standing 48 meters apart (player A and player B). They start running towards each other. Player A acceleration is 0.5 m/s2 and player B acceleration is 0.3 m/s2.
How much time passes before each player collides with each other?
When they collide how far has the first player(player A) traveled?

I will use the notation "_" to designate a subscript.
Total distance traveled = S_Total = 48 m.
Total, effective acceleration = A_total = 0.5 + 0.3 ...
