A kalesa and a bicycle start with zero initial velocity at the same instant, with the kalesa initially at some distance behind the bicycle. The kalesa has a 2.1 m/s^2 constant acceleration and 3.4 m/s^2 acceleration for bicycle. The kalesa overtakes the bicycle after the bicycle has moved 40.0 m. (a) How long does it take the kalesa to overtake the bicycle? (b) What was the distance of the kalesa behind the bicycle initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are side by side?
