(9%) Problem 3: A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a_{1}=1.55; m /(s ^2) for t_{1}=20 s. At that point the driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard with a constant acceleration of a_{2}=-6.74m /(s ^2) If the limb is on the road at a distance of 550 meters from where the car begins its initial acceleration, will the car hit the limb?
