You are in your car at an intersection waiting for the traffic light to turn green. When it turns green, you drive your car at a uniform acceleration of 3.20 m/s². At the same time, a motorcycle traveling at a constant speed of 20.0 m/s overtakes and passes you. How far from the intersection point will you overtake the motorcycle? b. How fast are you traveling when you overtake the motorcycle? а.

A moving beltway at an airport has a speed 1 and a length L.
