) A jeepney and a tricycle start from rest at the same instant, with the jeepney initially at some distance behind the tricycle. The jeepney overtakes the tricycle after the tricycle has travelled 125 m. If the jeepney has a constant acceleration of 3.5 m/s² and the tricycle has an acceleration of 3.0 m/s?, (a) What is the time it took for the jeepney to overtake the tricycle? (b) How far was the jeepney behind the tricycle initially? (c) What is the velocity of the tricycle when they are abreast? (d) If the tricycle decelerates at 2.5 m/s² after the jeepney overtakes it, calculate the total distance travelled by the tricycle.
