The Problem:
A truck is moving at a constant velocity of 20.0 m/s along a long, straight road for which the legal speed limit is 35 mi/h. At the instant when the truck passes a stationary police car that is parked at rest along the road, the police car begins to accelerate with a constant acceleration of 4.00 m/s2 in the same direction as the truck. The truck continues to move at its same constant velocity. At what time and position will the police car catch the truck?
