A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the
car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant
acceleration of 2.10 m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of 3.40 m/s2.
The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved 60.0 m. How far was
the car behind the truck initially?
