Just as car A is starting up, it is passed by car B. Car B travels with a constant velocity of 10 m/s, while car A accelerates with a constant acceleration of 4.5 m/s2, starting from rest.
a. Compute the distance traveled by each car for times of 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, and 4 s.
b. At what time, approximately, does car A overtake car B?
c. How might you go about finding this time exactly? Explain.
