Question
A car travels on a road that is parallel to a train track. The car stops at a traffic light and at the same time a train passes with a constant speed of 12.0 m/s. The car remains stopped for 6.0 s and then leaves with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s*. Determine:
A) The time it takes the car to reach the train, measured from the moment it stopped at the traffic light.
B) The distance that the car traveled from the traffic light until it reached the train.
C) The speed of the car at the moment it reaches the train.
The solutions should be :
A) 22.4 s B) 268.8m C) 32.8m/s
