A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.92 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard with a constant acceleration of a2 = -9.3 m/s2. If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car begins its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?
