1. Homework Statement ---------->
At a time = 0, a car has a constant velocity of 20 m/s east. At the same time a motorcycle starts from rest in the same direction with an accelerationof 2 m/s2. How long does it take the motorcycle to catch up with the car, and what distance have they traveled by that time?
2. Homework Equations
3. The Attempt at a Solution
Do you use the equation: x-x0 = v0t + 1/2at^2?
Please help! I really want to learn this so if you could show me the steps that would be great! How do you know what equation to use??
Thanks!
