In the Cars 2011 auto race, Lightning McQueen and Miguel Camino are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.5 m/s. Lightning McQueen realizes he must make a pit stop, and he smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. He spends 5.00 secs in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching his previous speed of 71.5 m/s after a distance of 350 m. At this point, how far has Lightning McQueen fallen behind Miguel Camino which has continued at a constant speed?
