Given information

As per the given information ,

  • Length of truck  
  • To pass the truck car has to travel =  
  • Initial speed of truck =  
  • Initial speed of car =  
  • Acceleration of car =  
  • Estimated distance of the other car =  
  • Speed of the other car  

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

To determine that car driver should attempt the pass (or) not we will use  Second equation of motion

Second equation of motion:

 

Where,   is the initial velocity,  is the time,   is the acceleration and   is the displacement.

Car can pass the truck when

 

Truck is travelling with

Therefore so  

At the same time, car is accelerating with at an initial speed of   .
