Calculating Minimum Distance for Safe Overtaking in a Kinematics Problem
Still got the question wrong somehow. My classmates are also having trouble getting the right answer, so my teacher might have made a mistake. Thank you for clarifying how to do this problem, though. It was really helpful :)- Scrooble

Sorry, I assumed that the acceleration was positive since I thought that that would be the correct perspective. So I guess the correct distance would be 125.8 m- Scrooble

I believe that it's saying that the woman gets as close to the truck as she can without "touching" it, if that makes sense.- Scrooble

Calculating Minimum Distance for Safe Overtaking in a Kinematics Problem
Homework Statement Suppose that a woman driving a Mercedes zooms out of a darkened tunnel at 30.3 m/s. She is momentarily blinded by the sunshine. When she recovers, she sees that she is fast overtaking a camper ahead in her lane moving at the slower speed of 13.7 m/s. She hits the brakes as...- Scrooble
