Walking at a speed of 2.1 m/s, in the first 2 s John would have walked
(2.1 m/s) (2 s) = 4.2 m
Take this point in time to be the starting point. Then John's distance from the starting line at time <em>t</em> after the first 2 s is
<em>J(t)</em> = 4.2 m + (2.1 m/s) <em>t</em>
while Ryan's position is
<em>R(t)</em> = 100 m - (1.8 m/s) <em>t</em>
where Ryan's velocity is negative because he is moving in the opposite direction.
(b) Solve for the time when they meet. This happens when <em>J(t)</em> = <em>R(t)</em> :
4.2 m + (2.1 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (1.8 m/s) <em>t</em>
(2.1 m/s) <em>t</em> + (1.8 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - 4.2 m
(3.9 m/s) <em>t</em> = 95.8 m
<em>t</em> = (95.8 m) / (3.9 m/s) ≈ 24.6 s
(a) Evaluate either <em>J(t)</em> or <em>R(t)</em> at the time from part (b).
<em>J</em> (24.6 s) = 4.2 m + (2.1 m/s) (24.6 s) ≈ 55.8 m
There are two possible answers that I can see, C or D

In this case to find the weight of an object you must use the formula.
W = mg
