Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is
A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>
and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of
B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
<em />
They meet when their positions are equal:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m
<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s
so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.
They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m
(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m
<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s
so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.
The term which is considered as being undefined is referred to as a point and is therefore denoted as option A in this context.
<h3>What is a Point?</h3>
This is defined as as small round mark written on a plane which signifies the position or location of a substance. This can also be seen as a dot and is also used to separate a group of numbers such as in the case of decimals etc.
It is referred to as being undefined alongside a plane, line etc as a result of it only being explained using specific examples and descriptions unlike a segment which can be viewed and understood easily when working on the parameter.
This is therefore the reason why a point is undefined and the most appropriate choice.
