Bob the Iguana and Sam the Snake are racing their cars along
a straight road. Bob is traveling at 130 feet/sec when he sees Sam 1000 feet
ahead of him traveling at 100 feet/sec, both of them heading toward the finish
line 2850 feet ahead of Bob. At that moment, Bob begins accelerates at 8
feet/sec^2. Six seconds later Sam checks his mirrors and sees Bob. He then
accelerates at 12feet/sec^2, and they both continue racing this way until they
cross the finish line. As soon as each of them crosses the finish line, they
immediately begin decelerating at 10 feet/sec^2.
