15. A car travelling 19.4 m/s passes a police car at rest.

As it passes, the police car starts up,


accelerating with a magnitude of 3.2 m/s^2. Maintaining that acceleration, how long will it take the
police car to catch up with the speeding motorist? At what speed would the police car be moving?
Explain whether or not this scenario is likely to happen.

we have two equations for distance, one for each car

car 1:

d = vt + ½at²

(acceleration is zero)

d = vt

d = 19.4t

car 2:

d = vt + ½at²

(initial velocity v is zero)

d =½(3.2)t²

d = 1.6t²

when the two cars have driven the same distance, d will be the same for both equations so we can set
them equal to each other

19.4t = 1.6t²

so can see that t = 0 is a solution but that's not the one we're looking for

divide both sides by t

19.4 = 1.6t

t = 19.4/1.6

t = 12.125 seconds

the cars will be beside each other after 12.125 seconds.


QUESTION 2.

to find the police car's velocity we use the equation v = at, and plug in the time we found and use the
acceleration given

v = at

v = 3.2 * 12.125

v = 38.8 m/s

QUESTION 3

this scenario will likely not happen because when right after the two cars are side by side, the police car
will be going double the velocity of the first car and will just drive right past, which is not what the police
want to do to catch someone.

Suppose at initial moment police car located at point x =0. Then its coordinate equals:
Sp=at2/2
a –acceleration of police car
t –time
And coordinate of car equals:
Sc = vt
v –speed of car
Police car catch the car then Sp = Sc
at2/2= vt
at/2= v
at=2v
t = 2v/a
t = 2 * 19.4/3.2
= 2*6.06
= 12.12
18. a motorbike increases its velocity from 20.0m/s [W] to 30.0m/s[W] over a
distance of 200 m.
1 find the acceleration and
2 the time it takes to travel this distance

Vf = 30m/s Vi = 20m/s d = 200m a = ? t=?

Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ad Vf = Vi + at


(30)2 = (20)2 +2 *a*200 Vf – Vi = at

900 = 400 + 400a 30 -20 = 1.25t

900-400 = 400a 10 = 1.25 t

500= 400a T = 10/1.25

T
a=500/400
= 8s
a=1.25 m/s2

So, accelerations is 1.25 m/s2 and time to travel given distance is 8 s

in ontario in 1998 the world's fastest car reached the speed of 655km/h. it can
accelerate at 9.85m/s2. starting from rest how long will it take to travel a
pisplacement of 402 m
Va = 655km/h Vi = 0m/s A = 9.85m/s2 D = 402 m
= 655km/3600s
= .182km/s
= 182m/s
Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ad VVf = Vi +at

= 0 + 2 * 9.85* 402 88.99 = 0 + 9.85t

Vf2 = 7919.4 T = 88.99/9.85

Vf = 88.99 = 9.034
D = (Vf +vi)/2*T
402 = 88.99/2 * t
402 = 44.495 * t
T = 402/44.495
= 9.034

A vehicle traveling at 25 m/s. its brakes provide an acceleration of -3.75
m/s2[Forward]. What is the drivers maximum reaction time if she is to avoid
hitting an obstacle 95.0 m away?

Vi = 25 m/s Vf = 0 a = -3.75 m/s2 d =95

D = (Vf +vi)/2*T
Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ad Vf = Vi + at
95 = (0 + 26.69)/2 *t
0 = Vi2 + 2 *(-3.75) *95 0 = 26.69 + -3.75t
95 = 13.345t
0 = Vi2 – 712.5 -26.69= -3.75t
T = 95/13.345
Vi2 = 712.5 T= 26.69/3.75
= 7.118
Vi = 26.693 = 7.117
= 7.12 0.468 s
=7.12

Off- ramps are designed for motorist to decrease their vehicles velocities to
move seamlessly into city traffic. If the off-ramp is 1.10 km long. Calculate the
magnitude of a vehicles accelerations if it reduces its speed from 110 km/h to
60 km/hr
Vf = 60km/h Vi = 110km/h d = 1.10km a = ? t=?
Vf = 16.66m/s Vi = 30.55m/s

Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ad Vf = Vi + at


(30.55)2 = (16.66)2 +2 *a*1100 Vf – Vi = at

277.55= 933.30+ 2200a 16.66 -30.55 = -0.29t

277.55-933.30 = 2200a -13.89 = -0.29 t

-655.75= 2200a T = 13.89/0.29

T = 47.89 s
a=-655.75/2200
a=-0.29 m/s2
