When Rider A is 500 meters from the finish line Rider B is 25.0 m ahead of A and traveling at the same velocity, they then begin their final acclerations at this moment. Rider A accelerates at 0.5 m/s² for 15.0 s. Rider B accelerates at 0.4 m/s2 for 16.0 s. Both riders maintain their final speeds until the end of the race.
