A car moving at 187km/h is behind a truck that's moving at 71km/h and is 150m ahead of the car
How long will it take the car to catch the truck ?
I'm literally in 2 lectures in my physics 101 class but I figure it would be cool to take a shot at the problem. This is what I did...
87km/h - 71km/h = 16km/h
16km/h = 4.4m/s
4.4m/s = 150 / t
t * 4.4m/s = 150
t = 150 - 4.4m/s
t = 146s
Well I checked it on masteringphysics h.w site and it was wrong...can't think of anything else.
