Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 127 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 5.0 m/s2 until a speed of 171 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P.
Car A is traveling at a constant speed va = 123 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 5.6 m/s2 untila speed of 176 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P. VA Answer: s = i m
A motorcycle patrolman starts from rest at A 2 sec. after a car speeding at the constant rate of 120 kph passes point A. If the patrolman accelerates at the rate of 6 m/s2 until he reaches his maximum permissible speed of 150 kph, which he maintains. a. Find the time for the patrolman to reach a maximum permissible speed of 150 kph. b. How long did it take the patrolman to overtake the car from the time he starts from A.? c. Calculate the distance S from point A to the point at which he overtakes the car.
Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 125 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar.

Q3/A subway traveling at 40 km/hr decelerates as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its reduced velocity is noted to be 30 km/hr as it passes point C. A vehicle which is moving at 25 km/hr passes point B at the same instant that the subway reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the subway to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas."

Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 132 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car Pobserves this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.1 m/s² until a speed of 169 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P. VA Answer:s= m
A motorist is traveling at v0 = 64 km/h when she observes that a traffic light x = 327m ahead of her turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 27s. If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it turns green again, determine (a) the required uniform deceleration of the car and (b) the speed of the car as it passes the light.
The car is traveling at 48 km/h when the traffic light 90 m ahead turns yellow. The driver takes one second to react before he applies the brakes. (a) After he applies the brakes, what constant rate of deceleration will cause the car to come to a stop just as it reached the light? (b) How long does it take the car to travel the 90 m?
2. A Hyundai Santa Fe travels a 1.30km levelled road from Bonifacio roundabout to City Lights Hotel in a minimum time of 45.60seconds. Given that the car accelerates and decelerates at 2.53 m/s², which starts from rest at the roundabout and coming to a stop at the Hotel, determine the maximum speed (in kph) and the time (in seconds) it travel at this speed. Assume time for acceleration and deceleration are equal.
