Answer:
25m
Explanation:
Let's assume the Jeep attains a velocity of 36km/h ; a constant speed same with that of the car.
While the Jeep is accelerating to that speed, the car with that speed passes it.
Now we can calculate the time taken for the Jeep to attain the velocity of 36km/h on her constant acceleration.
This time is t = v/a; from Newton's Law of Motion:
a = V-U / t ; a-acceleration
V is final velocity = 36km/h
U is initial velocity 0 since the body starts from rest.
Hence t = 36000/3600 ÷ 4 = 2.5s
Note conversting from km/h to m/s we multiply by 1000/3600.
But the distance covered by the car while the Jeep just accelerates is
S = U × t = 10× 2.5 = 25m.
Note From Newton's law of Motion, distance for constant speed is defined as: U × t
Hence the Car would be 25m off the starting point just as the Jeep accelerates. It would overtake the Jeep when it just covers 25m from the Jeep starting point.

Answer:
1) an observer in B 'sees the two simultaneous events
2)observer B sees that the events are not simultaneous
3) Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)
Explanation:
This is an exercise in simultaneity in special relativity. Let us remember that the speed of light is the same in all inertial systems
1) The events are at rest in the reference system S ', so as they advance at the speed of light which is constant, so it takes them the same time to arrive at the observation point B' which is at the point middle of the two events
Consequently an observer in B 'sees the two simultaneous events
2) For an observer B in system S that is fixed on the Earth, see that the event in A and B occur at the same instant, but the event in A must travel a smaller distance and the event in B must travel a greater distance since the system S 'moves with velocity + v. Therefore, since the velocity is constant, the event that travels the shortest distance is seen first.
Consequently observer B sees that the events are not simultaneous
3) let's calculate the times for each event
Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)
where t₀ is the time in the system S' which is at rest for the events
