Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
  • a = constant acceleration of the automobile = 2.5\ m/s^2
  • v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

  • t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

enyata [817]

If the car's motion appears as a horizontal line on a <u><em>position-time </em></u>graph, it shows that as time changes, the car's position doesn't change.

This is just a complicated way to say that the car is <em>not moving</em>.<em> (A)</em>
