At t = 0 a truck starts from rest at x = 0 and speeds up in the positive x -direction on a straight road with acceleration aT . At the same time, t = 0, a car is at x = 0 and traveling in the positive x -direction with speed vC . The car has a constant negative x -acceleration: acar−x=−aC , where aC is a positive quantity.
1.) At what time does the truck pass the car?
Express your answer in terms of the variables vC , aC , and aT .
t=
2.) At what coordinate does the truck pass the car?
Express your answer in terms of the variables vC , aC , and aT .
x =
