Problem

Two cars start to move from the same point at the same time with velocities v1=100 km⋅h−1v_1 = 100\,\mathrm{km\cdot h^{-1}} and v2=60 km⋅h−1v_2 = 60\,\mathrm{km\cdot h^{-1}}. Is it possible for the cars to move away from each other at any of the following velocities? If so, sketch the situations. \begin{alignat*}{2} v_a &= 160\,\mathrm{km\cdot h^{-1}} \,, & v_b &= 40\,\mathrm{km\cdot h^{-1}} \,, v_c &= 30\,\mathrm{km\cdot h^{-1}} \,, & v_d &= 90\,\mathrm{km\cdot h^{-1}} \end{alignat*}
