A police car is traveling at a velocity of 17.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant velocity of 42.0 m/s due north. After a reaction time 0.300 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s^2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
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?
At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 3.20 m/s^2. At the same instant a truck, travelling with a constant speed of 20.0 m/s, overtakes and passes the car. How far (in m) beyond its starting points does the car overtake the truck?
a motorist travelling with a constant velocity of 30m/s passes school- crossing comer, where the speed limit 20km/h. just as the motorist passes, a traffic officer on a motorcycle stopped at the comer starts off in pursuit with a constant acceleration of 2.0m/s^2. how much time elapsed (in seconds) before the officer catches up with the motorist.
A car racing in a 420m drag race starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 34.0m/s in the first 1.70s, and then continues at this speed to the finish line. How far does the car travel during the initial acceleration period and how much total time is required by the car to finish the race?
A car speeds past a stationary police officer while traveling 140 km/h. The officer immediately begins pursuit at a constant acceleration of 10.1 km/h/s, just as the driver passes her. How much time in seconds will it take the police officer to catch up to the speeding car, assuming that the car maintains a constant speed?
At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 3.20 m/s². At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 20.0 m/s, overtakes and passes the car. How far (in m) beyond its starting point does the car overtake the truck? Final answer in whole number.
At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 3.05 m/s2 . At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 25.0 m/s , overtakes and passes the car. How far beyond its starting point does the car overtake the truck?
The car starts when the traffic light turns green and moves at an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. At the same time, he is overtaken by a cyclist riding at a constant speed of 20 km/h. How far from the traffic light will the car catch up with the cyclist?
