Question

two cars are travelling towards each other on a straight road at
velocities 15 m/s and 16m/s when they are 150 m apart, both the
drivers apply the brakes and the cars decelerate at 3m/s and 4m/s
until they stop seperation between the cars when they come to rest
is

Dear Student ,
Here in this case applying the third equation of motion we can
write that ,
v12-u12=2a1s1⇒s1=1522×3=37·5 mAgain by applying the same equation we get that ,v22-u22=2a2s2⇒s1=1622×4=32 mSo initially they were at 150 m apart from each other 
Now after applying the brake  they will be =150-32+37·5=80·5 m apart from each other
