Answer:

$\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t$

Explanation:

Represent the car's position as a function

$x_o=$ "head start"

$x_{A}(t) = x_{o} + v_{A}t\\x_B(t)=v_Bt \\$

$Remember: v_B>v_A$

"cathching up means" that $x_A(t)=x_B(t)$

$x_{o} + v_{A}t =v_Bt\\x_{o} = v_Bt -v_{A}t\\x_{o} = t(v_B-V_A)\\\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t, where \ v_B>v_A$

Answer:

C = 0.0125 m/s⁴. The calculation procedure can be found in the attachment below. The concept of motion along a straight line with constant acceleration has been applied to solve the problem.

Explanation:

The sign convention chosen in this problem solution is upwards as positive and downwards negative. The equation of motion v = u + at has been used to calculate the constant C as only one unknown is contained in this equation. This is so because we have been given the initial velocity, the acceleration and the time taken. To solve future problems of this kind, first thing to check for is an equation of motion with the least number of unknown. This helps to reduce the complexity of the problem solution.
