Question

A car accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s/s in order to overtake another car. If the initial speed was 30 m/s and the car accelerated until its speed was 40 m/s
–For how long did it accelerate? –How much distance was covered in that time?

v = Vi + 3 t
40 = 30 + 3 t
t = 10/3 seconds

d = 35 (10/3)
