At the insutant the traffic light turns ...

At the insutant the traffic light turns green a car starts with a constant acc. `2 m//s^(2)`. At the same instant a truck, travelling with a constant speed of `10 m//s`, overtakes and passes the car. (a) How far beyond the starting point will the car overtake the truck ? (b) How fast will the car be travelling at that instant? (c) Draw `s//t` curves for each vehicle.

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of both the car and the truck. ### Given Data: - Car's acceleration, \( a_c = 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - Truck's speed, \( v_t = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) - Car's initial velocity, \( u_c = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) - Truck's initial velocity, \( u_t = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) ...
