Two cars start from rest and race down parallel lanes of a straight track. Vehicle A accelerates at 2 m/s2 until it acquires a speed of 144 km/h and continues with constant speed. Vehicle B accelerates at 1.5 m/s2 to a speed of 162 km/h and continues at a constant speed. Calculate a) Which vehicle wins in a 5 km race and by what distance?, b) How far have the vehicles traveled until the moment B reaches A 11:18
