At the same time a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 9.5m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (A) How far beyond the traffic light will the automobile overtake the truck?
Given that,
the car overtakes the truck
therefore their distance covered are equal.
distance covered by the car
x=1/2X4t^2
x=2t^2 -------- (1)
By the truck
x=vXt
ie,x=10.09Xt
