If a car at rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of $144 \, km/h$ in $20 \, s$,then it covers a distance of ........ $m$.

Two cars $A$ and $B$ initially at rest are moving in the same direction with accelerations $a_1$ and $a_2$ respectively. After a certain time $t$,they achieve velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively and are separated by a distance of $50 \ m$. If $(a_1 - a_2) = 4 \ m \ s^{-2}$,then the quantity $(v_1 - v_2)$ will be: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)
