An ambulence is currently travelling at 15m/s and is accelerating with a constant acceleration of 5m/s^2, the ambulence is attempting to pass a car which is moving at a constant velocity of 30m/s. how far must the ambulence travel until it matches the car's velocity?

Answer:

67.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the kinematics equation.
(vf^2-vo^2)/(2a) =x


vf=30
vo=15
a=5


(30^2-15^2)/(10) =x\\


67.5=x
