Let the time be t.

so,In time t , distance travelled by 1st cyclist = 12.6 t

distance travelled by 2nd cyclist = 9.2t + 0.5 (1.5) t^2

Now, cyclist 1st is already 11.4 m ahead of 2nd cyclist.

so, 9.2t + 0.5 (1.5) t^2  = 11.4 + 12.6t

find t :

t =  6.77 sec

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?
Damm [24]
You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps
