1.7. A car accelerates from rest to a speed of 40 km/h in a distance of 50 m and then continues at constant speed. Using a velocity-time graph, or otherwise, calculate how long it takes to catch up with the car on a motorcycle starting from rest 2.0 min later than the car and reaching twice the speed with twice the acceleration.

A car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s. (a) What is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) Is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
