Answer

\[ 50 \mathrm{s} ; 5000 \mathrm{ft} \]

Work Step by Step

\[ \begin{array}{l} s(t)=\frac{a}{2} t^{2}+v_{0} t+s_{0} \\ v(t)=a t+v_{0} \end{array} \] Using Formula (10) and Formula (11) from the book: \[ s(t)=2 t^{2} \] $a=4, v_{0}=0, s_{0}=0$ \[ s(t)=50 t+2500 \] For the truck: $a=0, v_{0}=50, s_{0}=2500$ We are looking for a time when positions are equal. \begin{array}{l} 2 t^{2}=2500+50 t \\ \Leftrightarrow -2500-50 t+ 2 t^{2}=0 \\ \Rightarrow t=50 \mathrm{s} \end{array} Distance at this time: \[ s(t)=50^{2} \cdot 2=5000 \mathrm{ft} \]
