Find how far will motorcycle travel before it catches car

Reference no: EM13712671

Problem: A car travels on a long, straight highway at a constant speed of 30 m/s when it passes a stationary police motorcycle. As the car passes the motorcycle, the motorcycle accelerates at a constant rate of 10m/s2 to try to catch the car.

Part A: How far will the motorcycle travel before it catches the car?

I need help to find how far the motorcycle travel before it catches the car.
