How to solve Vehicle Chase $($or Catching Up$)$ problems

At the instant the traffic light turns green $(t_0=0),$ a car

that has been waiting at an intersection $(x_0=0)$ starts

ahead $($from rest, $v_{0A}=0)$ with a constant acceleration of

$2\mathrm{.}30\frac{m}{s^2}.$ At the same instant, a truck traveling with a

constant speed of $27\mathrm{.}8\frac{m}{s}$ passes the car $($at $x_0=0).$

Enter the time is seconds with $3$ digits after the decimal point.
