    When Does the Car Overtake the Truck?

    so according to what you said, my answer going to be 250 meters? here is my work so you can check if it's right or wrong. Car: X= v. t + 1/2 a t^2 X = 1.6 t^2 Truck: X = v. t + 1/2 a t^2 X=20.0 t ---- then, x = x 1.6 t^2 = 20.0 t finally, t = 12.5 s...
