To solve the problem of how long it takes for Car 1 to catch up to Car 2, we need additional information to find the answer. Specifically, you would need:
- The initial speed of each car (Car 1 and Car 2).
- The time duration for which Car 2 has been racing before Car 1 starts to catch up.
- Any additional conditions, such as if Car 1 accelerates at a different rate compared to Car 2.
Without this data, I cannot provide a specific number of hours for when Car 1 will meet and then pass Car 2.
Feel free to provide more details or context!
