Question

a car strats with constant acceleration of 2 m/s^2 at the same instant atruck travelling with constant speed of 10m/s overtakes and passes the car how far beyond the starting point will the car overtake the truck

Answer 1

Answer:

After, 25m car will overtake the truck.

Explanation:

Let, car has to travel s distance to overtake the truck.

Car's specifications:

Initial velocity (u)= 0 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s.

Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s^2.

Using first eq. of motion (v = u+at)

t=5 s

Using second eq. of motion (s = ut+1/2at^2)

s=25m.
