Studying for a test and i cannot figure out how this is done...
A gold car moving at 12m/s passes a Green Car while the Green Car is at rest at a stoplight. The green car immediately accelerates at a rate of +1.8m/s^2 for 11 seconds. After how much time (relative to initial starting time) must the green car drive before catching up with the gold car.
I bolded some things because the question is very confusing and I've asked around but no one could help me.
Thanks to anyone that helps.
Please list any steps, etc that should be used as well...
BTW, this should be done with the 5 kinematics equations and v = d/t if needed.
