Homework Statement
Car A is starting from rest and accelerating at 4.0 m/s^2, car B passes it, moving at a constant speed of 28 m/s. How long will it take car A to catch up with car B.
Homework Equations
d=Vot+1/at^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the equation above, I used it for car A then car B and made them equal to each other. Got 2t^2 - 28t = 0 then solved. I got t= 14s.
Are there any mistakes? Thanks so much.[/B]
