To solve the problem of a car overtaking another car, we can break it down into a series of 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). - Speed of Car 1 (overtaking car): \[ 60 \, \text{km/h} = 60 \times \frac{5}{18} = 16.66 \, \text{m/s} ...
