2. Molly speeds along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.0 m/s. Just as she passes aparked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at 2.00 m/s? to overtakeher.(a) Assuming the officer maintains this acceleration, determine the time it takes thepolice officer to reach Molly.(b) Find the speed and the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes Molly.3. In a 100-m race, Henry and Ben cross the finish line in a dead heat, both taking 10.2s. Accelerating uniformly, Ben took 2.00 s and Henry 3.00 s to attain maximum speed,which they maintained for the rest of the race.(a) What was the acceleration of each sprinter?(b) What were their respective maximum speeds?(c) Which sprinter was ahead at the 6.00-s mark, and by how much?4. A quarter is dropped from rest into a well. (Ignore air resistance!)(a) If the sound of the splash is heard 2.40 s later, how far below the top of the well isthe surface of the water? The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature)is 340 m/s.(b) If the travel time for the sound is neglected, what percentage error is introducedwhen the depth of the well is calculated?
