4. Collision (10 points): You are sitting in a car that moves along the x-axis. You are currently at the point (?50m,0) moving at a constant speed of 5m/s toward the origin. A high schooler is also in a car but is traveling along the y-axis starting from rest at (0,?100). The high schooler. has his foot on the gas all the time and is accelerating at a constant rate. What should this acceleration be so you two have a really bad day (collide)? Solve this in both your frame and a frame fixed to the earth.
