A car starts from rest and has an acceleration a = t. A truck is moving with a uniform velocity of 6 m/s. At what distance will the car overtake the truck? (at t = 0 both start their motion in the same direction from the same position)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
a = t
∴ v = 
⇒ S 1 = 
S 2 = 6t ⇒ S 1 = S 2
= 6t ⇒ t = 6 sec
S = 6 × 6 = 36 m
