To make it a fair race, Fernando gave his mate a head start of 500 m.
The Formula One car can travel at a maximum speed of 300 km/hr. It can achieve this speed (from rest) in about 4 seconds.
The Toyota can travel at a maximum speed of 150 km/hr. It can achieve this speed (from rest) in about 8 seconds.
If the two cars start at rest, when will the F1 car overtake the Toyota?
Using v = u + at, I get the two accelerations as 75 ms^-2 and 18 3/4 ms^-2... What next? Help!
The two cars are not travelling at constant speed. Nothing is mentioned in the question about the speeds they travel at... Can somebody help?
