I need help with this physics problem. I'm not just looking for the answer--there's a quiz on Monday and I really need help understanding this so please explain it well.
Here's the problem:
Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initially 5.0 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross?
