A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constantspeed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycleare both traveling at the same speed of 21.5 m/s , and the distancebetween them is 60.0 m . After t1 = 5.00 s , the motorcycle startsto accelerate at a rate of 8.00 m/s2 . The motorcycle catches upwith the car at some time t2.
How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle startsto accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words,find t2−t1.
How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts toaccelerate (at time t1) until it catches up with the car (at timet2)? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, makesure you use the unrounded value.
