Question
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
At what time do A and B meet?Which vehicle is moving with a constant acceleration?
