Two cars, X and Y, move along the same straight road for 20s starting from the same point at the same instant.
• Car X travels with a constant velocity of 15ms−1.
• Car Y starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration of 2ms−2 throughout the motion.
Answer the questions given below.
(i) Write the equation you will use to obtain the distance covered by car Y in the given time.
(ii) Calculate the distance travelled by each car in 20s.
(iii) Which car covers the greater distance in this interval? Explain with reference to your results.
