Car A is traveling at a constant speed VA-130 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s² until a speed of 160 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P. VA P Ans. 713 m

1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/sm/s relative to the…
A Ford Territory and a Montero Sport are traveling in the same direction at 60.0 kph on a straight highway, parallel to each other, and the Territory is ahead of Montero by 248,90 kph. At a certain time, Territory decelerates uniformly at 2.50 m/s2, whereas the Montero accelerates uniformly at 2.0 m/s2. At what distance measured from the initial position of Montero will it overtake Ford Territory.
1. The population P of elephants in a wild animal preserve changes with time (in years) according to the equation dP - 0.0005P(190 - P)dt = 0. If there are 46 elephants initially, in how many years will the population reach 90? 2. For earth, let g and R be the acceleration due to gravity and the radius, respectively. If another Planet B has one-half the acceleration due to gravity of the earth but four times its radius, then the velocity of escape of that same object placed on Planet B is twice that on earth. (True or False)
2. A motorist saw a humps 33 m away at a speed of 14.5 m/s. He immediately slams on the brake and decelerates 1.2 m/s 2 with a speed of 11.7 m/s. (a) Will he stop before the humps (express your answer in magnitude)? (b) How long it will take before stopping?
In his novel From the Earth to the Moon (1865), JulesVerne describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon, calledthe Columbiad, with a speed of 12,000 yards>s. The Columbiad is900 ft long, but part of it is packed with explosives, so the spaceship accelerates over a distance of only 700 ft. Estimate the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship duringlaunch. Give your answer in m>s2. (Verne realized that the “travelers would . . . encounter a violent recoil,” but he probably didn’tknow that people generally lose consciousness if they experienceaccelerations greater than about 7g ∙ 70 m>s2.)
3) A red truck moving 100 km/ h overtakes a 1.5 km long train moving in the same direction on a track parallel to the road. If the speed of the train is 80.0 km/h, how long in seconds does it take the car to pass it, and how far (meter) will the car have travelled in this time
The distance S that an object falls varies directly with the square of the time t. If an object falls 16 feet in one second, how long for it to fall 400 feet? The time required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed. It takes 1 hr at a speed of 400 km/h to drive a fixed distance. How long will it take to drive the same distance at a speed of 8 km/h?
1. Andrew and Kevin decide to try out the physics ideas that they are learning and take their baseball pitching machine and a baseball to a 96 feet tall local building. Based on what they have learned the height, s(t), of a baseball, thrown straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from a rooftop 96 feet high is s(t)=-16t^2+80t+96 where t is the elapsed time that the baseball is in the air. The baseball that is pitched miss the rooftop on their way down and eventually strike the ground. a) What is the average velocity of a baseball from t=0 to t=2 seconds? b) What is the velocity of the baseball 2 seconds after it is thrown? c) After how many seconds will the velocity of the baseball reach zero? d) What is the velocity of the baseball t seconds after it is thrown? e) What is the velocity of the baseball as it passes the roof top on the way down?
1. As you search for the fell flower, you suddenly see a group of cryo hilichurls approaching towards your direction. If the mob of monsters all ran at a uniform rate of 2.2 meters per squared seconds and reached your location within 18 s, what is the instantaneous velocity of the said hilichurls?
