This is an interactive homework problem for introductory physics students relating to position and displacement. Students are asked to determine distance required for a car to overtake a slower-moving train, given times of departure for each. Both are traveling at constant velocity in the same direction. The problem is accompanied by a Socratic-dialog "help" sequence designed to encourage critical thinking as users do a guided conceptual analysis before attempting the mathematics. It is part of a larger collection of interactive physics problems.
