Homework Statement

Hi! if you clicked on this please try and solve it. If you do solve these, can you please attach the work so I can see where your coming from?

Relevant Equations

v2=v1+at, average speed, instantaneous speed

A truck passes a point A on a straight level road with a constant velocity of 10 m s -1. At the same instant, an automobile starts from rest at point A and travels in the same direction as the truck, with a constant acceleration of 1.6 m s -2.

How long a time does the automobile take to pass the truck, from the instant it starts at point A?
How far beyond the starting point will the automobile overtake the truck?
How fast will the automobile be traveling, when it passes the truck?

Anything helps!

You will also need a standard equation relating to distances under constant acceleration.
