You are driving a car behind a truck. Both your car and the truck are moving at a speed of 80km/hr. If the driver of the truck suddenly slams on the brakes, what minimum distance betweenyour car and the truck is needed so that your car does not crash into the truck’s rear end? (This is called the "​minimum trailing distance​".) To simplify this problem, assume that the truck andthe car have the same braking acceleration.
a. In order to simplify the calculations for this problem, you are told to assume that the braking acceleration of the car and the truck are the same. What other reasonable assumptions do you need to make in order to solve this problem?
b. For both the truck and the car, draw an acceleration- and velocity-versus-time graph.
c. Find an expression for the minimum trailing distance. (Your expression should only contain symbols of physical quantities. No numbers are needed here.)
d. Find the numerical value for the minimum trailing distance (Plug the values of physical quantities into your expression from part A (do not forget units!))
