20) A car with good tires on a dry road can decelerate at about 5.0 m/s2 when braking. Suppose a car is initially traveling at 55 mi/h.
(a.) How much time does it take the car to stop?
(b.) What is the stopping distance?

21) At the instant a traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at the intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s2. At that moment a truck traveling with a constant velocity of 15.0 m/s overtakes and passes the car.
(a.) Calculate the time necessary for the car to reach the truck.
(b.) Calculate
