...Suddenly the engineer sees a truck? Here is the whole question:
A train is traveling along straight, level track at 26.8m/s (60.0mi/h). Suddenly the engineer sees a truck stalled on the tracks 185m ahead. If the maximum possible braking acceleration has magnitude 1.52m/s^2, can the train be stopped in time?
