Answer:
Car-x moves with uniform speed 1 m/s.
Car-y has acceleration a, which is given by , a = dv/dt = tan45 = 1 m/s2
Let after t seconds car-y catch car-x. Let car-x has moved a distance S m in t seconds.
for car-y :- S+4 = (1/2)×a×t2 .....................(1)
for car-x :- S/t = 1 .......................(2)
By eliminating S from eqn.(1) and (2) and with substitution a = 1 m/s2 , we get t2 = 2t+8 or t = 4 s
Hence after 4 seconds, car-y will catch car-x
