In a quarter-mile drag race, two cars start simultaneously from rest, and each accelerates at a constant rate until it either reaches its maximum speed or crosses the finish line. Car A has an acceleration of 11.6 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 105 m/s. Car B has an acceleration of 11.5 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 90.5 m/s. Which car wins the race, and by how many seconds?
