Question:

A car and a truck are heading directly toward one another on a straight and narrow street, but they avoid a head-on collision by simultaneously applying their brakes at t = 0. The resulting velocity-versus-time graphs are shown in FIGURE 2-38. What is the separation between the car and the truck when they have come to rest, given that at t = 0 the car is at x = 15 m and the truck is at x = - 35 m?

In figure 2-38

v (m/s) 15 10 +t(s) -5 -10 -15 2.
