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?
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 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?
In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 115 ft and both boats are traveling at a constant speed of 100 mi/h. At t= 0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, t = 8 s and vA = 135 mi/h, determine (a) the acceleration of A, (b) the acceleration of B. help ty
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?
At a football tryout, a player runs a 40-yard dash in t2 = 5.00 seconds. If the reaches his maximum speed at the 15-yard mark L1 with a constant acceleration and then maintains that speed for the remainder of the run, determine his acceleration over the first 15 yards, his maximum speed, and the time duration of the acceleration.
Starting at time t = 0, an object moves along a straight line with velocity in m/s given byv(t) = 98 – 2t^2, where t is in seconds. When it momentarily stops its acceleration is:
Suppose that a person unwisely drives 75 mi/h in a zone 55 mi/h and passes a police car going 55 mi/h in the same direction. If the police officers begin constant acceleration at the instant they are passed and increase their velocity to 80 mi/h in 4 s, how long does it take them to be even with the pursued car? Ans. 10s
A baseball is pitched, reaching the batter with a speed of 37 m/s, and is hit such that it returns on the same line at 48 m/s. If the ball was in contact with the bat for .22 seconds, what was the magnitude of the average acceleration experienced by the ball during the time of contact?
A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.50 m/s2. At 30.0 s after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall. How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?
A car with initial velocity 7.2 m/s undergoes a constant acceleration. What is the acceleration (in m/s2 ) if the velocity of the car is 9.5 m/s 6 seconds later? Make sure to include a minus sign, if appropriate.
A marching band player walks directly north at a speed of 2.50 m/s for a time of 12.0seconds, turns 35.00to the east and walks at half that speed for another 15.0 seconds.What is the players total displacement and average velocity for the entire trip?
