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.

A car (SEDAN) is to overtake a bus as it enters an acceleration lane. The speed of the SEDAN is 80 kph initially. The bus is at the same speed as the SEDAN. Given the perception reaction time as 2.70 seconds and the average acceleration of the vehicle is 2.55 m/s2, solve the: a. The passing sight distance (in furlong) that the SEDAN could move while overtaking the slow-moving bus before meeting the on-coming opposing vehicle if the velocity of SEDAN increases to 90 kph and the time for it tooccupy the left lane is 12.50 seconds. The opposing vehicle travels at a speed of 70 kph and the time for it to reach a point before it passes the SEDAN is 0.18 minutes. The between the SEDAN at the end of its and the opposing vehicle is 91.60 yards.
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.

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
