Two cars move in a straight line towards each other with initial velocities V₁ and V₂ and constant acceleration a₁ and a directed opposite to their initial velocity. The maximum initial separation between cars such that they collide during motion is (V₁-V₂)² 2(a₁ + a₂) V₁² V₂² 2a₁ 2a₂ (V₁ + V₂)² 2(a₁-a₂) (V₁-V ₂)² 2(a₁-a₂)
