Problem 30P

A car is behind a truck going 25 m/s on the highway. The car’s driver looks for an opportunity to pass, guessing that his car can accelerate at 1.0 m/s2. He gauges that he has to cover the 20-m length of the truck, plus 10 m clear room at the rear of the truck and 10 m more at the front of it. In the oncoming lane, he sees a car approaching, probably also traveling at 25 m/s. He estimates that the car is about 400 m away. Should he attempt the pass? Give details.
