2.36: a) The truck’s position as a function of time is given by x T = v T t, with v T being the<br />

truck’s constant speed, and the car’s position is given by x C = (1/2) a C t 2 . Equating the<br />

two expressions and dividing by a factor of t (this reflects the fact that the car and the<br />

truck are at the same place at t = 0) and solving for t yields<br />

2vT 2(20.0 m s)<br />

t = =<br />

= 12.5 s<br />

C 3.20 m s<br />

and at this time<br />

x T = x C = 250 m.<br />

b) a C t = (3.20 m/s 2 )(12.5 s) = 40.0 m/s (See Exercise 2.37 for a discussion of why the<br />

car’s speed at this time is twice the truck’s speed.)<br />
