A car capable of a constant acceleration of
2.69 m/s is stopped at a traffic light. When
the light turns green, the car starts from rest
with this acceleration. At the very same mo-
ment, a truck traveling with constant velocity
13.3 m/s passes the car.
As the car's velocity increases, it will even-
tually move faster than the truck and later
overtake it. How far from the light will the
car catch up with the truck?
Answer in units of m.
