To save fuel, some truck drivers try to maintain a constant speed when possible. A truck traveling at 22.0 km/hr approaches a car stopped at the red light. When the truck is 69.8 meters from the car the light turns green and the car immediately begins to accelerate at 4.0 m/s2. How close does the truck come to the car assuming the truck does not slow down?
