Answer to Question #69868 in Mechanics | Relativity for Edmond Thi

Question

A car capable of a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s2, is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the car starts from rest with this acceleration. Also, as the light turns green, a truck traveling with constant velocity of 40 km/hr passes the car. Clearly, the car will eventually travel faster than the truck and will overtake it. At what distance will the car catch up with the truck?
