Simultaneously 4372
From two places, M and N, 100 m apart, two bodies move simultaneously in the positive direction of the x-axis. A body moving from place M has a speed of 5 m/s, from place N 3 m/s. How long does it take for the first body to catch up with the second? What path will the bodies travel in this time?
