Chapter 2: Problem 101
A soccer ball rests on the field at the location \(x=5.0 \mathrm{~m}\). Two players run along the same straight line toward the ball. Their equations of motion are as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} &x_{1}=-8.2 \mathrm{~m}+(4.2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}) t \\ &x_{2}=-7.3 \mathrm{~m}+(3.9 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}) t \end{aligned} $$ (a) Which player is closer to the ball at \(t=0\) ? (b) At what time does one player pass the other player? (c) What is the location of the players when one passes the other?
