Basically the question is saying that at the pedestrian is at the point where the car and the motorcycle meet
But be careful cause the point they meet at isn't the intersection of the 2 graphs
It's where the distance they both covered is equal
So if you find this point then that's where the pedestrian is
how would you find this point
like how I find out when both of their displacements are the samae
would I set up 2 equations?!
in terms of t seconds?
Yea
Get the area that each of them covers while accelerating
That's the area under the triangle
Now you're left with squares
So now create an equation in terms of t for for the area under each of the graphs M and C
Equate them together to find the t
for the car it's going to be (Area under triangle) + 30(t–20)
You could also just model the area under the graph for each of them as a trapezium
