Answer:
6.96 s
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
- a = constant acceleration of the automobile =

- 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.

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.
Answer:
a = 3.61[m/s^2]
Explanation:
To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
In this case we have:
![F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%20%3D%20m%2Aa%5C%5C%5C%5Cm%3Dmass%20%3D%203.6%5Bkg%5D%5C%5CF%20%3D%20force%20%3D%2013%5BN%5D%5C%5C13%20%3D%203.6%2Aa%5C%5Ca%20%3D%203.61%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D)
