A motorcycle patrolman starts from rest at a gasoline station 2 seconds after a car travelling at a constant rate of 120 kph passes the gasoline station. If the patrolman accelerated at the rate of 6 m/s^2 until he reaches his max permissible speed of 150 kph which he maintains. How long did it take the patrolman to overtake the car from che time he starts from the gasoline station?

A car travels along the North Luzon Expressway with a constant speed of 45 kph. To avoid getting penalized of under-speeding, it accelerates at 8 m/s2. Determine the time, in s, that it takes to reach the minimum speed limit of 80 kph. Also determine the distance travelled by the car while accelerating .If it stops to pay at a tollgate, determine the deceleration, in m/s2, of the car in 10 s. Also determine the distance travelled by the car while decelerating
A speeding driver noticed a police car parked about 433 m in from of him on the side of the road and reduced his speed at a constant rate for a duration of 10.7 seconds as he drove past the police car, at the legal speed of 33 m/s. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)?
A driver is traveling at 10 m/s when they pass a speed limit sign that says 25 m/s. They realize they are going too slow and so 2 seconds after they pass the sign, they speed up at a rate of 4 m/s^2. How far behind is the sign from the car when the car reaches the speed limit?
The driver of a car is initially moving at a constant speed of 68.3 km/h when a traffic light turns red. If a 0.525 s reaction time is required before the brakes can be applied, what is the distance in meters traveled by the car before it begins to slow down?

Two cars are in a 500 meter race. Car 1 has an acceleration of 3 metersper second squared, and a maximum velocity of 54 m/s. Car 2 has an acceleration of 4 meters persecond squared, with a maximum velocity of only 45 m/s. Assume that the cars are able to movewith their maximum acceleration up until they reach their maximum velocity, then stopaccelerating. If both cars start at the same time, which car passes the finish line first
