a. 0.5*a*t^2 = 150. 0.5*4.6t^2 = 150, t = 8.1 s.
b. 0.5a*t^2 = d + 150. a = 6 ft./s^2, t = 8.1s, d = ?.
a car and a truck starts from rest at the same instant with the car is behind the truck initially at the same distance. the truck has a constant acceleration of 4 ft/s^2 and the car has an acceleration of 6 ft/s^2. the car overtake the truck after the truck travelled 150 ft.
a.at what time did the car overtakes the truck?
b. how far was the car behind the truck initially?
