Problem-constant velocity acceleration


Assignment:

A stationary car A is passed by a car B moving with a constant velocity of 15m/s. Two seconds later, car A starts moving with a constant acceleration of 1m/s^2 in the same direction.(If car has constant velocity acceleration must be zero)

a) Using the formula s=ut + 1/2at^2,where s is the distance from the starting point in meters, u is the velocity initially, a is acceleration in m/s^2 and t is the time in seconds, write a relationship between s and t for the car A and car B.
b) Sketch graphs of both functions, on the same set of axes, placing s on the vertical and t on the horizontal.
c) Find the value of t which satisfies both of these equations.
d) What does this value of t mean in relation to the position of the two cars relative to each other.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
