Problem based on truck attempting to pass


Solve the below problem:

Q: A car is behind a truck going 25 m/s on the highway. The car's driver looks for an opportunity to pass, guessing that his car can accelerate at 1.0m/s2. He gauges that he has to cover the 20-m length of the truck, plus 10m clear room at the rear of the truck and 10m more at the front of it. In the oncoming lane, he sees car approaching, probably also traveling at 25m/s. He estimates that the car is about 400m away. Should he attempt the pass? Give details.
