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 time it took the car to overtake the truck.

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?
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?
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 speeder travelling at a constant velocity of 40 m/s passes by a police car that is initially at rest. Soon afterwards, the police officer starts moving towards the speeder with an uniform acceleration of 5.33 m/s2. How long does it take, in seconds, for the police officer to catch the speeder?
Car A moves to the right with velocity 12 m/s. As soon as it reachesCar B, Car A accelerates at 3.00 m/s^2 . At the same time, starting from rest, Car B also accelerates at 5.00 m/s^2. How far will Car B have to travel to catch up with Car A?
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?
Truck A is moving with a constant velocity 7.32 while Truck B starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration 2.08. they both start at the same position. How long in seconds does it take before Truck B overtakes Truck A?
Two cars A and B are driving on a straight road at constant velocity with a distance of 50m, car A is behind B. If both cars start accelerating at the same time but at different accelerations of 5m/s² and 3m/s² respectively. Find t just when A overtakes B.
Starting from rest at time t = 0, a car accelerates from a stop sign in the positive x direction along a long straight road with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s2. A truck travels along the same road at a constant velocity of 30 m/s. At time t = 0, the truck was 10 km in front of the the car. How long does it take for the car to catch up to the truck? The answer to one significant figure is
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 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.
A car with initial velocity 7.2 m/s undergoes a constant acceleration. What is the acceleration (in m/s2 ) if the velocity of the car is 9.5 m/s 6 seconds later? Make sure to include a minus sign, if appropriate.
