3. A motorist traveling with constant velocity of 15 passes a school-crossing corner, where the speed limit is 10. Just as the motorist passes, a police officer on a motorcycle stopped at the corner starts off in pursuit with constant acceleration of 3.0 m (a) How much time elapses before the officer catches up with the motorist? (b) What is the officer's speed at that point and the total distance each vehicle has travelled at that point?

A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car’s over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant accelerationof 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it take for the police officer to overtake the car?
A sprinter accelerates from rest to a top speed with an acceleration whose magnitude is 3.78m/s2. After achieving top speed, he runs the remainder of the race without speeding up or slowing down. The total race is fifty meters long. If the total race is run in 8.38 s, how far does he run during the acceleration phase?
A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car's over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it the police officer to overtake the truck?
A person lakes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except, for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h, (a) how much time is spent on the trip and (b) how far does the person travel?
A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. How long does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of 2.20 m, and he is 1.80 m tall?
A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s2. (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s? (b) If she then brakes to a stop in 0.800 s, what is her deceleration?
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
To pass a physical education class at a university, a student must run 1.0 mi in 12 min. After running for 10 min, she still has 500 yd to go. If her maximum acceleration is 0.15 m/s2, can she make it? If the answer is no, determine what acceleration she would need to be successful.
A police car is traveling at a velocity of 16.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant speed of 50 m/s due north. After a reaction time of 0.700 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200-m-long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10.0 m/s and it accelerates at2.00 m/s2, how long does it take to travel the 200 m up the ramp? (Such information might be useful to a traffic engineer.)
A woman , who is in such a hurry to get away from her irrate husband , is speeding down a straight road in her Mercedes . Starting from rest and traveling with a constant acceleration , she passes her mom's house traveling at 90mph . A mile later , her car is going 130mph . What is her acceleration ? How long did it take her to travel from rest to her mom's house ? How long did it take her to go the final mile ?
In outer space, a rocket ship starts from rest and moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 100 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then contniues with zero acceleration for 5 more seconds. How far does it travel in these 10 seconds?
