A car traveling at a constant speed of 26.5 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. One second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in chase with a constant acceleration of 3.70 m/s2. How long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car? Solve this problem by a graphical method.

Starting from rest at time t = 0, a car accelerates from a stop sign in the positive x direction along a long straight road with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s2. A truck travels along the same road at a constant velocity of 30 m/s. At time t = 0, the truck was 10 km in front of the the car. How long does it take for the car to catch up to the truck? The answer to one significant figure is
In heavy rush-hour traffic, you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5 minutes, and finally, you drive at 15 m/s for another 2.5 minutes. Plot a position-versus-time graph for this motion. Your plot should extend from t = 0 minutes to t = 7.5 minutes. Assume x=0 and t=0 at the start of your motion.
A group of students in a science class monitored the movement of a cat walking along with a straight line and recorded the cat's position in five-second intervals.The results are summarized it in the table below. time and position time(s) position (cm) 0 49.0 5 38.0 10 43.0 15 40.0 20 60.0 A. What is the displacement of the cat between t = 5.00 s and t = 20.0 s? B. What is the average velocity of the cat between t = 5.00 s and t = 20.0 s? C.What is the distance the cat traveled between t = 5.00 s and t = 20.0 s?
A snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.25t3 + t2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. x is measured along the surface of the hill. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when t = 7.5 seconds. The position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder are ____ft, ____ft/s, and ____ft/s2, respectively when t = 7.5 seconds.
Referring to the figure, a truck drives a distance d=30.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=17.2s, at which point the truck brakes, coming to rest in t2=8.13s. Part A: What is the truck's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? Part B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per suqared second, during the time interval t1? Part C: What was the truck's instananeous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? And using the result from the previous answer, what was the truck's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
A driver traveling north slows down from 35.4m / s to 0m / s in 8.6 seconds. What is the magnitude of the driver's acceleration? The standard units for acceleration are "meters per second-squared" or "meters per second per second" and it's written as m / (s ^ 2) or m / s / s
One simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.5 m/s in 2.24 s , what will be his total time? Express your answer in seconds.

The Bugatti Veyron can go from 0-100km/h in 2.46s. It takes another 7.34s at a different acceleration to go from 100km/h to 240km/h. Assume the accelerations are constant. (Please include a diagram and convert km/h to m/s). a) Calculate the acceleration of the car over the first 2.46s. b) How much distance does the car have to cover to reach a speed of 240km/h? c) The speed of the car is limited to 415km/h to protect the tires. If the car maintains the acceleration that it had at 240km/h, how long would it take the car to reach 415km/h?
In the Cars 2011 auto race, Lightning McQueen and Miguel Camino are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.5 m/s. Lightning McQueen realizes he must make a pit stop, and he smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. He spends 5.00 secs in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching his previous speed of 71.5 m/s after a distance of 350 m. At this point, how far has Lightning McQueen fallen behind Miguel Camino which has continued at a constant speed?
