Question
4. Car A is standing at red traffic light. Just as the light turns green car B travelling at a constant velocity
of 14 m.s- passes car A, which accelerates uniformly at 2.5 ms-2 to a velocity of 18 m.s-1 and then
travels at a constant velocity.
4.2 How long does it take car A to reach a velocity of 18 m.s-1
4.3 Which car is ahead and by how much, when car A reaches a velocity of 18 m.s-1
4.4 How long does it take for the cars to draw level?

Answer: t = 7.2 s, B by 36 m, t = 16.2 s from green light.
Explanation:
4.2 18 m/s / 2.5 m/s² = 7.2 s
dB = 14(7.2) = 100.8 m
dA = ½(2.5)7.2² = 64.8
Car B is ahead by 100.8 – 64.8 = 36 m
36 m / (18 – 14 m/s) = 9 s
t = 9 + 7.2 = 16.2 s
