Two cars A and B are 5 m long each. Car A is at any instant just behind B. A and B are moving at 54 km/h and 36 km/h. Find the road distance covered by the car A to overtake B.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
v AB = 15 – 10 = 5 ms -1
x AB = 10 m; t = x AB /v AB = 2s.
Road distance covered = v A s t + length of car A
= 15 × 2 + 5 = 35 m.
