5. A car is travelling at 20 m/s when it pulls out to pass a truck that is travelling at only 18 m/s. The car accelerates at 2.0 m/s for 4.0 s and then maintains this new velocity. (Assume 2 significant digits.)
[12 Marks)
(a) What distance does the car travel during the period of acceleration?
(b) What is the car's speed at the end of the period of acceleration?
(c) If the car was originally 8.0 m behind the truck when it pulled out to pass, how far in front of the
truck is the car 10.0 s later?
(d) On the same set of axes, sketch what the position-time graph would look like for both the car and
the truck.

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
