At t = 0 a truck starts from rest at x = 0 and speeds up in thepositive x-direction on a straight road with acceleration aT. At the sametime, t = 0, a car is at x = 0 and traveling in the positive x-direction withspeed vC. The car has a constant negative x-acceleration: acarx = -aC,where aC is a positive quantity. (a) At what time does the truck pass thecar? (b) At what x-coordinate does the truck pass the car?
