Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A is traveling at VA = 133 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 5.3 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.2 m/s2 until a speed of 163 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A.

A car and a truck are both traveling at the constant speed of 35 mi/h; the car is 40 ft behind the truck. The driver of the car wants to pass the truck, i.e., he wishes to place his car at B , 40 ft in front of the truck, and then resume the speed of 35 mi/h. The maximum acceleration of the car is 5 ft/s2 and the maximum deceleration obtained by applying the brakes is 20 ft/s2. What is the shortest time in which the driver of the car can complete the passing operation if he does not at any time exceed a speed of 50 mi/h? Draw the v-t curve.
