    I have another kinematics study question
    At the instant when the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration of 1.8m/s^2 . At the same instant a truck traveling with a constant speed of 8.5m/s overtakes and passes the automobile

    A) how far beyond the starting point will the automobile overtake the truck?
    B) how fast will the car be traveling at that instant?

    Thank you for asking our help with your homework assignment. However, there are some rules we have for doing so.
    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you. You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer or process and post it for us to critique that is acceptable. If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.

    I have removed your other questions temporarily. If you return with evidence of having done this work, I will restore them so you can do the same with the other questions.

    An easy way to get this question without doing any mistake is to make use of graphs and their properties. A v-t graph would be the most useful here.
