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 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?
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.
A boat is cruising in a straight line at a constant speed of 2.5 m/sm/s when it is shifted into neutral. After coasting 11 mm the engine is engaged again, and the boat resumes cruising at the reduced constant speed of 1.5 m/s. Assuming constant acceleration while coasting, how much time did it take for the boat to coast the 11 mm?
A football player catches a pass 49 m from the end zone and runs down the sideline at vp = 5.6 m/s. A defending player directly across on the other sideline, 53.3 yd (48.8 m) away, runs to intercept. If the defending player runs in a straight line, with what minimum speed (in m/s) must they run to intercept the player before reaching the end zone?
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?
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
