The acceleration is +3.0 m/s². e. The acceleration cannot be determined. 2 Multiple Choice Questions 1. A car enters a 25-m intersection travelling with a velocity 5 m/s in the west direction. When it clears the intersection (after it covers the 25-m), it is travelling with a velocity of 10 m/s still in the west direction. What is the acceleration of the car? Assume that east is in the positive x-axis and west is in the negative x-axis. a. The acceleration is -9.81 m/s. b. The acceleration is -1.5 m/s².arrow_forward

Explain with an example.arrow_forward7) A speeding motorist traveling 30 m/s passes a stationary police officer. The officer immediately begins pursuit at a constant acceleration of 3 m/s². a) How much time will it take for the police officer to reach the speeder? b) What is the velocity of officer when he catches the speeder? c) Plot two graphs, show the displacement vs. time for both motorist and police in one graph and velocity vs. time for both of them in a the other graph.arrow_forward
