At the instant a traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at the intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s2
At that moment a truck traveling with a constant velocity of 15.0 m/s overtakes and passes the car.
(a.) Calculate the time necessary for the car to reach the truck.
(b.) Calculate the distance beyond the traffic light that the car will pass the truck.
(c.) Determine the speed of the car when it passes the truck.
(a.) 15.0 s
(b.) 225 m
(c.) 30.0 m/s

Derive an equation in the form ch = f(T, D, U?) for flow of air over a long horizontal cylinder for the temperature range 0°C to 100°C, as a basis for water in the temperature range 10°C to 40°C.
GIVEN
• Water flow over a long horizontal cylinder
• Water temperature range is 10°C < T < 40°C
FIND
• An equation in the form h c= f(T, D, U?) based
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state
• Temperature difference between water and the cylinder is small enough that the Prandtl number variation is negligible
