You can put this solution on YOUR website!
While driving on the freeway at 110 km/h, you pass a truck whose total length you estimate at 25 m.
\n" ); document.write( "The Truck's speed is v = 26 ms.
\n" ); document.write( " We are both going in the same direction.
\n" ); document.write( "How far does the truck travel while you’re passing it?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find your speed in m/sec
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28110%2A1000%29%2F3600\"$ = 30.55 m/sec
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation; time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25%2F%28%2830.55-26%29%29\"$ = 5.49 secs to pass the truck
\n" ); document.write( "Find the distance the truck travel in this time
\n" ); document.write( "5.49 * 26 = 142.7 meters
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
