CBSE Class 10 Answered
At the instant traffic lights turn green, a car starts with a constant acceleration fo 2m/s^2. At the same instant, a truck traveling with a constant speed of 10m/s overtakes and passes the car. How far beyond the starting point will the car overtake the truck? How fast will the car be travelling at that instant?
a)100m,20m/s
b)100m,10m/s
c)150m,20m/s
d)150m,10m/s
c)

Expert Answer
Let the car and truck meet after t sec and the distance travelled would be equal to s m.
For the car, s = (at^2)/2 = t^2
For the truck, s = 10t
--------------
When the distances are equal 10t = t^2
t^2 - 10t = 0
t(t-10) = 0
t = 0 or t = 10 sec.
t = 0 or t = 10 sec.
Since at t = 0, the car and truck are at the light itself, so, they meet up at t= 10 sec.
-------------------
s = 10*10 = 100 meters from the light.
--------
Speed of the car = at = 2*10 = 20 m/s
Hence, option a is correct.
