A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of 1.20m/s2 and the car acceleration of 1.80m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved 45m. Find the velocity of the car when the two vehicles are abreast?

a bus is travellung with a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. at the instant it passes a car at rest, the car starts to move and accelerate at 4 m/s^2 in the same direction as the velocity of the bus. how far will it take before the car overtakes the bus?
A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car's over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it the police officer to overtake the truck?
A sports car with constant velocity v= 20 m/s passes a police car which is initially at rest at the origin.The police car immediately begins to accelerate with acceleration a = 3 m/s^2. At what distance past the origin doesthe police car pass the sports car?
A bus is travelling at a constant speed of 20 m/s. A car is 50m behind the bus and begins to accelerate at 5.2 m/s^2 starting from an initial speed of 12 m/s. How long will it take for the car to catch up to the bus?
A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of 1.20m/s2 and the car acceleration of 1.80m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved 45m. How far was the car behind the truck initially?
A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
In a game of tag two children start from rest 4.0 m apart. The first child accelerates at 0.8 m/s2 in a straight line away from the second child, while the second child accelerates at 1.7 m/s2 after the first. How long (in seconds) does it take the second child to catch the first?
As soon as a traffic light turns green, a car speeds up from rest to 50.00 mi/h with constant acceleration 9.00 mi/h/s. In the adjoining bicycle lane, a cyclist speeds up from rest to 20.0 mi/h with constant acceleration of 13.00 mi/h/s. Each vehicle maintains constant velocity after reaching a cruising speed. For what time interval is the bicycle ahead of the car?
A football player carrying the ball runs straight ahead at the line of scrimmage and directly into a wall of defensive linemen. The ball carrier has an initial speed of 8.56 m/s and is stopped in a time interval of 0.182 s. Find the magnitude and direction of his average acceleration.
One ball is dropped at rest from a height of h = 75 m. At the same time, another ball is thrown upward from the ground with initial velocity v2 = 34 m/s. It takes Δt time for them to meet on the way. Defining the positive direction going upward, what is the acceleration of the two balls, a in m/s2? Express the displacement of the ball falling down, Δy1, when the two balls meet in terms of Δt and a. Express the displacement of the ball going upward, Δy2, when the two balls meet in terms of v2, a, and Δt. Express h in terms of Δy1 and Δy2. Calculate the numerical value of Δy2, in meters, which represents the height at which the two balls meet.
In a 100-m race, the winner is timed at 11.2 s. The second-place finisher’s time is 11.6 s. How far is the second-place finisher behind the winner when she crosses the finish line? Assume the velocity of each runner is constant throughout the race.
a motorist travelling with a constant velocity of 30m/s passes school- crossing comer, where the speed limit 20km/h. just as the motorist passes, a traffic officer on a motorcycle stopped at the comer starts off in pursuit with a constant acceleration of 2.0m/s^2. how much time elapsed (in seconds) before the officer catches up with the motorist.
