3371. S= 12at2 since u=0;
→ 60=0.5*2.2*t2
→ t= 7.39 seconds.
2. For car,
v=at since u=0;
→ v=3.5 * 7.39
→ v= 25.85 m/s...
So, v2=2aS since u=0;
→ 25.852=2*3.5*S
→ S= 95.45 m
Therefore difference= 95.45-60 = 35.45 m (Ans.)
3. Speed of car already calculated in the previous part.
Speed of truck = at = 2.2* 7.39= 16.25
So,
car= 25.85 m/s
truck= 16.25 m/s
Thanx...
