A car and a truck are both traveling at the constant speed of 35 mi/h; the car is 40 ft behind the truck. The driver of the car wants to pass the truck, i.e., he wishes to place his car at B , 40 ft in front of the truck, and then resume the speed of 35 mi/h. The maximum acceleration of the car is 5 ft/s2 and the maximum deceleration obtained by applying the brakes is 20 ft/s2. What is the shortest time in which the driver of the car can complete the passing operation if he does not at any time exceed a speed of 50 mi/h? Draw the v-t curve.

Car A starts from rest at t = 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/s2 until it reaches a speed of 86 ft/s. Afterwards, it maintains this speed.
