A SWAT car is in pursuit of a stolen pickup truck. At one instant, the car has a speed of 34 m/s and is 164 m behind the truck. At the same time, the truck has a speed of 32 m/s. If neither vehicle accelerates, how long will it take the SWAT to catch up to the truck?

Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.
