a car traveling at 60 km/hr overtakes another car traveling at 42 km/hr.
Assuming each car to be 5.0 m long, find the time taken during the overtake and the total distance used for the overtake
:
Find the time (in seconds) required to pass the car
Change 5 m to km: 5/1000 = .005 km is the length of the car
:
time = * 3600 = 10 seconds
:
Find the distance required to accomplish the pass
* 60 * 1000 = 166 meters
