Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, four seconds later, they have
the same velocity. During this four-second interval, cycle A has an average acceleration of 1.3 m/s2 due
east, while cycle B has an average acceleration of 4.1 m/s2 due east. By how much did the speeds differ
at the beginning of the four-second interval?
11.2 m/s
Which motorcycle was moving faster?
