Question

Please provide each step and equation clearly. Kathy tests her new sports car by racing with Stan, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Kathy leaves the starting line 1.00 s after Stan does. Stan moves with a constant acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 while Kathy maintains an acceleration of 5.25 m/s2. (a) Find the time at which Kathy overtakes Stan. (b) Find the distance she travels before she catches him. (c) Find the speeds of both cars at the instant she overtakes him.

Answer 1

Concept: we use equations of kinematics considering that the accelerated motion in one dimension starts at rest,
