Question: A blue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.3 m/s2. A green car

A blue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.3 m/s2. A green car arrives at the position of the stop-light 6.5 s after the light had turned green.

If t = 0 when the light turns green, at what time does the green car catch the blue car if the green car maintains the slowest constant speed necessary to catch up to the blue car? Answer in units of s.

What is the constant speed of the green car? Answer in units of m/s.

What is the instantanous speed of the blue car when the green car catches up to it? Answer in units of m/s.
