A motorcycle officer hidden at an intersection observes a car driven by an oblivious driver who ignores a stop sign and continues through the intersection at a constant speed. The police officer takes off in pursuit 2.0s after the car has passed the stop sign. She accelerates at 4.2 m/s^2 until her speed is 110 km/h until she catches the car. The car is 1.4 km from the intersection. a) How long did it take for the officer to catch the car? b) How fast was the car traveling?
A car and a jeepney start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the jeepney. The jeepney has a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s2and the car has an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. The car overtakes the jeepney after the jeepney has moved 75.0 m.a) How long does it take the car to overtake the jeepney?b) How far was the car behind the jeepney initially?c) What is the velocity of each when they are abreast?
On a straight highway, a car is moving initially at speed of 26.0 m/s. To pass another car, it acceleratesat 3.80 m/s2 for 5.00 s, and then decelerates at -3.80 m/s2 for 5.00 s to get back to the original speed. a) (What was the top speed of the car while passing? b)How far down the highway did the car travel during the entire 10.00 s it took to pass? [Hint: Theaverage velocity could be helpful.

A straight road and a train line are parallel to each other. A racing car is stopped at a point on the road and a 100 m long train passes by at 81 km / h. next to the wagon the last wagon, the wagon starts in the same direction as the train with a constant acceleration of 4.0 m / s2.How long it will take the car to catch up with the locomotive assuming it maintains constant acceleration.
A car travels on a road that is parallel to a train track. The car stops at a traffic light and at the same time a train passes with a constant speed of 12.0 m/s. The car remains stopped for 6.0 s and then leaves with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s*. Determine: A) The time it takes the car to reach the train, measured from the moment it stopped at the traffic light. B) The distance that the car traveled from the traffic light until it reached the train. C) The speed of the car at the moment it reaches the train. The solutions should be : A) 22.4 s B) 268.8m C) 32.8m/s
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/s2.
