| Phineas and Ferb just invented hovercraft skateboards, and Candace, being Candace, needs to take of picture of them to prove, once and for all to their mom, that Phineas and Ferb are still up to their crazy and dangerous shenanigans. Candace sees Phineas and Ferb riding their hoverboards 20 meters behind her, travelling at a constant velocity. She realizes that this is her opportunity; it takes her 20 seconds to grab her camera, bag, and hop on her electric scooter to chase them. She starts from rest and continues (miraculously) with constant acceleration. | Phineas and Ferb just invented hovercraft skateboards, and Candace, being Candace, needs to take of picture of them to prove, once and for all to their mom, that Phineas and Ferb are still up to their crazy and dangerous shenanigans.

| + | - The process for determining where and when Candace will be able to take a photo of the boys (i.e. when Candace's position intersects with Phineas and Ferb's) starts by breaking the problem down into two parts: before and after Candace begins moving. If we define Candace as being at the origin ($x=0$), then we must first determine where Phineas and Ferb are once Candace gets on her scooter. To do this, we can use the following kinematic equation (which will helpful for the entire problem): $x=x_0 + vt + at^2$, where $x$ is current position, $x_0$ is initial position, $v$ is velocity, $a$ is acceleration, and $t$ is time. We know Phineas and Ferb start 20 m to the left of Candace, they are travelling at a constant velocity of 4 m/s, and it takes Candace 20 seconds to get on her scooter, therefore we can find where Phineas and Ferb are in relation to Candace: $x=-20 + 4(20) + 0(20)^2 = 60$. Phineas and Ferb are 60 m to the right of Candace when she starts her scooter. Next (similarly to the [[https://www.msuperl.org/wikis/icsam/doku.php?id=repository:head-on_collision | Head-On Collision]] and [[https://www.msuperl.org/wikis/icsam/doku.php?id=repository:rear-end_collision | Rear-End Collision]] activities) we will create a system of equations describing the motion of Phineas and Ferb and Candace and solve for the unknown variables. $$x_{P\text{&}F}=60+4t$$ $$x_C=\dfrac{1}{2}*2*t^2$$ | ||
