A car is traveling at a constant speed of 35.0 m/s (about 78 mi/hr, where the speed limit is 60 mi/hr) as it passes a police car. The police car then accelerates from rest at a rate of 8.50 m/s² in order to catch the speeding car. Find both the time it takes for the police car to catch the speeder and the distance traveled in that time. SHOW YOUR WORK.

How fast would a 6.0 m-long sports car have to be going past you in order for it to appear only 5.5 m long?
How would you find the time it would take?
Physics Problem, Kindly indicate givens and full solution so I can understand the problem much better ^_^ Thank you.
hi ! kindly write the solutions legibly and explain it hehe thank you <3
I'm having trouble completing the problem I've attached a picture of below. I was able to find the the Earth's average speed in m/s relative to the sun by doing (2pi*(1.49x10^11))/31536000. But I am struggling to find the average velocity for the same thing over a period of one year in m/s. I was wondering how to calculate that? I've tried doing the (final velocity-initial velocity)/2 but the program doesn't accept my answer when using that approach.
Not complicated answer, and not too long explanation

Can you help me solve this, show the work on how you got the answers
What's the correct answer? Can you explain in detail please.
In Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Two Towers, the wizard Gandalf falls from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm for a total screen time of 71 seconds. Darren wanted to calculate the maximum height the fall could have been and running the numbers concluded that it could be at most 4.94 km from the bridge to the heart of the mountain below. Is Darren's conclusion a fair estimation of the total fall distance?Be sure to:*State your claim with disagreeing with 4.94 km being a reasonable height for the fall.*Gather evidence from your choice of a combination of your own calculations and observations from the film (lord of the rings -Gandalf vs Balrog entire battle HD) *Connect your evidence to your claim by reasoning why it supports your claim. Any evidence you share should be directly linked with your reasoning to why or why not 4.94 km or 4,940 m is a reasonable estimate for the falling distance. Use the equation x=vit+1/2at^2 to solve show all calculations and givens. Givens x= want t= 72 sec…
I've attached a screenshot of the question i'm trying to solve and I have pictures of my work here https://imgur.com/a/bQ5IaC1 . My work for this problem is under the 2.44 title, any variable with an "s" in the subscript applies to the speeder, and any variable with a "c" in the subscript applies to the police car.
