Two bodies start moving in the same straight line at the same instant of time from the same origin. The first body moves with a constant velocity of `40ms^-1`, and the second starts from rest with a constant acceleration of `4ms^-2`.Find the time that elapses before the second catches the first body. Find the also the greatest distance between them prior to it and time at which this occurs.
