Solve the following problem by using a reference frame attached to the motorist. 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/s^2 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.
At t = 0, one athlete in a race running on a long, straight track with a constant speed υ1 is a distance d1 behind a second athlete running with a constant speed υ2. (a) Under what circumstances is the first athlete able to overtake the second athlete? (b) Find the time t at which the first athlete overtakes the second athlete, in terms of d1, υ1, and υ2. (c) At what minimum distance d2 from the leading athlete must the finish line be located so that the trailing athlete can at least tie for first place? Express d2 in terms of d1, υ1, and υ2 byusing the result of part (b).
A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that it's distance from the light is given by x(t) = bt^2-ct^3, where b = 2.40 m/s^2 and c = 0.120 m/s^3. Calculate the average velocity of the car for time interval t= 0 to t = 10.0 s. b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s and t = 10.0 s. c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?
