I need help with this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 3.40m/s^2 . At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 17.5m/s , overtakes and passes the car.
How far beyond its starting point does the car overtake the truck?
How fast is the car traveling when it overtakes the truck?
