Question

A car and a truck move on a street following a straight line. The car's velocity is 24 m/s when the driver sees the truck too close in front of him. He applies the brakes and the car's acceleration becomes -5.9 m/s^2. At the same time, the truck moves with a velocity of 12 m/s and an acceleration of 1.1 m/s^2. The truck was 10.3 meters ahead of the car at the time the brakes were applied. Will the vehicles collide? If so, determine the time for impact. Tip: the car does not need to fully stop. It only needs its velocity to become equal to or smaller than the truck before it is too late. Acceleration Car = -5.9 m/s^2, Acceleration Truck = 1.1 m/s^2.
