A 2 ton truck is traveling down an icy, \(10^{\circ}\) hill at \(50 \mathrm{mph}\) when the driver sees a car stalled at the bottom of the hill \(250 \mathrm{ft}\) away. As soon as he sees the stalled car, the driver applies his brakes, but due to the icy conditions, a braking force of only \(2000 \mathrm{~N}\) is generated. Does the truck stop before hitting the car?
