The car reduces its speed to 10 m/s and follows the truck maintaining a distance of 16 m from the truck.
On finding a clear gap in the opposing traffic stream, the car accelerates at an average rate of 4 m/s2, overtakes the truck, and returns to its original lane.
When it returns to its original lane, the distance between the car and the truck is 16 m.
The total distance covered by the car during this period (from the time it leaves its lane and subsequently returns to its lane after overtaking) is _______.
