To solve the problem of a car overtaking another car, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Speeds from km/h to m/s First, we need to convert the speeds of both cars from kilometers per hour (km/h) to meters per second (m/s). The conversion factor is: \[ \text{Speed in m/s} = \text{Speed in km/h} \times \frac{5}{18} \] - For Car A (72 km/h): \[ ...
