A speeding car traveling at a constant velocity of 3 × 10'm/s passes a police car initially at rest beside the roadway. If the police car with constant acceleration of 3.1 immediately pursues the speeding car, how much time is it before the police car is directly behind the speeding car? answer in seconds.

Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s (Fig. P2.41). Determine (a) the negative acceleration he experienced and (b) the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration.

A train is traveling down a straight track at 20 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 40-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied?
A speeder travelling at a constant velocity of 40 m/s passes by a police car that is initially at rest. Soon afterwards, the police officer starts moving towards the speeder with an uniform acceleration of 5.33 m/s2. How long does it take, in seconds, for the police officer to catch the speeder?
A train is traveling down a straight track at 32 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 64-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied in meters?
A car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 80 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 136 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 26.0 s. What were the magnitudes of the cars accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively?
A car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 70 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 110 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 30.0 s. What were the magnitudes of the car s accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively?
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?
Consider two cars, a 700kg Porsche and a 600kg Honda Civic. The Porsche is speeding along at 40 m/s (mph) and the Civic is going half the speed at 20 m/s. If the two cars brake to a stop with the same constant acceleration, are either the amount of time required to come to a stop, or the distance traveled prior to stopping influenced by their initial velocity?

A.Determine the velocity of the car after 10 seconds. B.Determine the distance travelled by the car during the period of 10 seconds. C.Determine the total distance travelled by the car until it stops.
While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
A mountain biker cycling a trail traveling at 5.4 m/s begins to slow down when she notices a wooden bridge ahead has flooded. If she begins braking when she is 15.0 m from the bridge and comes to a stop just before reaching the bridge, how long did it take her to stop?
