Question

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 18.5 m/s, and the distance between them is 60.0m . After t1= 5.00s , the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 4.00m/s^2 . The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2. How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1 ) until it catches up with the car (at time t2 )? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, make sure you use the unrounded value. what i got from the previous part is 5.48 seconds

Explanation / Answer

distance = (18.5x5.48) + (0.5x4x5.482) = 101.38+60.6 = 161.98 m
