1. Physics help EMERGENCY!

I need help with a couple of problems. I really need this soon so any help will really be of service.

Two particles are at the same point at the same time, moving in the same direction. Particle A has an initial velocity of 8.6 m/s and an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. Particle B has an initial velocity of 2.5 m/s and an acceleration of 5.8 m/s^2.
At what time will B pass A?

And:

A subway train starting from rest leaves a station with a constant acceleration. At the end of 6.58 s, it is moving at 16.45 m/s.
What is the train's displacement in the first 4.42834 s of motion?

Thank you sooooooo much!

both particles will have the same displacement when B passes A.

here is the displacement equation ...

$\Delta x = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

A subway train starting from rest leaves a station with a constant acceleration. At the end of 6.58 s, it is moving at 16.45 m/s.
What is the train's displacement in the first 4.42834 s of motion?
$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

once you calculate acceleration, then you can use

$\Delta x = v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

to calculate the displacement.

We need to know their initial seperation. Then it is a relative velocity problem. The initial relative velocity is 8.6-2.5 m/s and the relative acceleration is 3.0-5.8 m/s^2
