A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.0 m/s. Just as she passes a parked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at 2.00 m/s2 to overtake her. Assuming that the officer maintains this acceleration, (a) determine the time interval required for the police officer to reach the motorist. Find (b) the speed and (c) the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist.
Two sports cars (A and B) are racing on a straight track of length 5 km. Initially, two cars were at rest. Once the race starts, both cars are accelerating uniformly before they gain their maximum velocities. After each car reaches its maximum velocity, it moves with the same speed during the rest of the race. Given that car A accelerates for 1min with 0.2 m/s2 acceleration and car B has an acceleration of 0.15 m/s2 for a period of 100 s. (A) Which car wins the race? What is the time difference between the events as the two cars pass the finish line? (B) If exists, at what time the velocities of the two cars become equal to each other? (C) If exists, at what distance both cars will be in the same distance away from the starting position? (D) If both cars need to finish the race at the same time, what would be the new acceleration of the previously lost car while accelerating the same time duration. (Consider that the car who one the previous race doesn't change its parameters)
You and your friend are running at each other from 200 m apart. After 10 seconds and having passed the 50 m mark on your side, you see your friend has already gone 60 m on his. Assume he maintains the same constant speed. What will your average speed need to be for the remaining time in order for you to both have covered the same amount of distance when you meet? 7.5 m/s 6.0 m/s 8.5 m/s 9.0 m/s
The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.8 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 28.8 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. 1) Express the cheetah's top speed in mi/h. (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: 64.2 2) Starting from a crouched position, how long does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: 3.31 3) How far does it travel in that time? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: 47.5 4) If a cheetah sees a rabbit 120 m away, how long will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: ? tried 5.25 and 5.26 but does not work
A runner starts at the beginning of a track and runs at a constant speed of 18 km / h. After 6 minutes, a second runner starts at the same point, and his speed is 21 km / h,following the same track. How long will it take for the second runner to catch up with the first? Hint: when the second runner catches up with the first, they will have both covered the same distance.Remember the formula [distance] = [speed] x [time]

How long (in seconds) does it take for the runner to travel 74.7m? 3. An object that has been moving with a speed of 5m/s for 10s can have a zero displacement YES OR NO? 4. Which branch of physics is kinematics a part of?
Two cars are driving at the same constant speed on a straight road, with car 1 in front of car 2. Car 1 suddenly starts to brake with constant acceleration and stops in 11 m. At the instant car 1 comes to a stop, car 2 begins to brake with the same acceleration. It comes to a halt just as it reaches the back of car 1. What was the separation between the cars before they starting braking?
A sports car driver turned his car 15.0 km [E 30.0° N], and then turned again 30.0 km [W 45.0° N] to get back on track. If the diversion lasted a total of 2.00 minutes, what was the average velocity of the car, in m/s? Include diagrams to help you solve the question.
The acceleration of a vehicle takes the form du/dt = 1.2 -0.06u where u is the vehicle speed in m/sec. The vehicle is traveling at 14m/sec at time (To) Determine the following:1. Time at which the vehicle attains a speed of 20m/sec.2. Acceleration of the vehicle after 5 seconds3. Distance traveled by the vehicle when accelerated to a speed of 20 m/sec.
A car stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by x(t)=〖bt〗^2-〖ct〗^3 where, b=2.40m/s^2 and c=0.120m/s^3 a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t=0s to t=10.0s b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t=0s; t=5.0s; and t=10.0s
You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 23.6 m/s. As you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. You immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.20 m/s2. How far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?
two car with a distance of 100m between them are moving in the same direction with the same speed. At t=0 s , the cars start to apply constant acceleration with the same magnitude but in opposite directions, simultaneously. at the 5th second, the cars are the same position, and one of the cars is stopping. calculate the velocity of the moving car at the 5th second.
