Answer:
(a) 3.807 s
(b) 145.581 m
Explanation:
Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.
The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at speed is
The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is
We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:
(b)
