I have been working on this problem for a while, and I still don't understand how to set it up for the first part of this problem:
At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.2 m/s squared. At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 9.5 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile.
(A) How far beyond the traffic signal will the automile overtake the truck?
(B) How fast will the automobile be traveling at that instant?
