Automobiles A and B are traveling in adjacent highway lanes and at t = 0 have the positions and speeds shown, where S = 75.2, (vA)0 = 24.7 mi/h , and (vB)0 = 35.8 mi/h. Knowing that automobile A has a constant acceleration of 1.89 ft/s2 and that B has a constant deceleration of 1.17 ft/s2 , determine the relative velocity (in mi/h) of A with respect to B at the moment when A overtakes B.

Automobiles A and B are traveling in adjacent highway lanes and at t = 0 have the positions and speeds shown, where S = 75.2, (vA)0 = 24.7 mi/h , and (vB)0 = 35.8 mi/h. Knowing that automobile A has a constant acceleration of 1.89 ft/s2 and that B has a constant deceleration of 1.17 ft/s2 , determine the relative velocity (in mi/h) of A with respect to B at the moment when A overtakes B.
