1st you must turn the meters into miles or the mph into meters per hour. I will turn the meters into mi. So, 1 meter = 6.214*10^-4 miles. You get the truck's equation is y=70x, the car's equation is y=50x+20*6.214*10^-4 because its 20 meters ahead of the truck.
Set them equal to each other and you get
70x=50x+20*6.214*10^-4 ----> subtract 50x from both sides, and you get:
20x = 20*6.214*10^-4 -------> divide both sides by 20 to leave x with a coefficient of 1:
x = 6.214*10^-4 -----------> that's the portion of an hour which it would take you. If you consider each hour has 60 minutes, you multiply x by 60 and you get the answer in minutes.
60*6.214*10^-4 = 3.72*10^-2 if you multiply that by 60 you get the answer in seconds:
60*3.72*10^-2 =2.23.
So there, it would take the truck 2.23 seconds to get to the car.

Would you measure a truck in meter or kilometer?
In meters. A fairly long truck might just be a little over 20 meters long. Still a lot less than a kilometer.In meters. A fairly long truck might just be a little over 20 meters long.

Can a truck be measured in meters?
The answer is yes because centiMeters is not correct
Jessica is traveling 50 mph in her truck After 5 hours how far will she have traveled?
250 miles
To pass a truck a car initially traveling 25 meters per second accelerates at a constant rate of 3 meters per second squared after 6 seconds how fast is the car traveling?
That's easy, if the car is initially traveling at 25 meters per second and gradually accelerates 3 meters per second for 6 seconds then the car is traveling at 43 meters per second.
A car traveling 70 miles per hour is 20 miles behind a truck traveling 50 miles per hour how long will it take the car to overtake the truck?
an hour and one minute

One hour
A car traveling 96 km h is 100 m behind a truck traveling 75 km h how long will it take the car to reach the truck?
The car is gaining on the truck, and the space between them is closing, at (96-75) = 21 km/hr.The car will overtake the truck in (100/21000) hour = (60/210) minutes = (3600/210) = 17.143 seconds (rounded)
A car and a truck are traveling at the same speedWhich has more momentum why?
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
Who is at fault when one truck hits another truck from behind when in motion?
the truck behind the other car

How many feet does it take to stop a two ton truck?
That depends on how fast the truck is traveling.
What is the momentum of a truck with a mass of 4500 kg traveling at 25 m divided by s?
Magnitude of momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (4,500) x (25) = 112,500 kilogram-meters/second
How much to rent a truck?
Depends on the size of the truck, the purpose, the distance it'll be traveling, the area in which it will be traveling, etc. Too many unaddressed variables to give an accurate answer here.
A 3200 kg truck is traveling with a constant velocity of 25 meters per second on a level road. The sum of all the forces resisting its motion is 12000 N. What is the net force on the truck?
It is zero, since at constant velocity there is no acceleration. If 12000N are resisting motion, the truck is putting out 12000 N in opposite direction.
