Chapter 2, Problem 39AP
Hannah tests her new sports car by racing with Sam, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Hannah leaves the starting line 1.00 s after Sam does. Sam moves with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2, while Hannah maintains an acceleration of 4.90 m/s2. Find (a) the time at which Hannah overtakes Sam, (b) the distance she travels before she catches him, and (c) the speeds of both cars at the instant Hannah overtakes Sam.
