Two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the second at 28m^-1. If the second car is 6km behind the first car, how much time will it need to catch up with the first car

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

We have . Thus, solving for t:
