A motorist travels at a constant speed of 39.0 m/s through a school zone; exceeding the posted speed limit. A policeman stopped at the side of the road gives chase. 7.0 s after the speeding car passes, the police cruiser begins to accelerate at a constant rate of 3.5 m/s?. How much time elapses between the moment the speeder passes the policeman and the policeman catches the speeder?

A motorist traveling at 25.0 m/s passes a stationary police car. The police car gives chase 7.0 s later, accelerating at 3.0 m/s. How long (in seconds) after giving chase will the police car catch the motorist?
A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 30.5 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 15.3 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the Ford just keeps going at a steady 30.5 m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the Ford a distance of 103.8 m ahead of where the Ford first passed it. What was the magnitude of the Toyota s acceleration? 4.5 m/s^2 1.7 m/s^2 8.9 m/s^2 3.4 m/s^2
A car is traveling at a steady 81 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. A police motorcycle takes off at the instant the car passes it, accelerating at a steady 8.4 m/s2 . How much time elapses before the motorcycle is moving as fast as the car?
A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 23.0 m/s, and the distance between them is 55.0 m. After t₁ = 3.00 s, the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 7.00 m/s². The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2.

A speeder passes a parked police car at 29.8 m/s. Instantaneously, the police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.49 m/s2. How much time pases before the speeder is overtaken by the police car? Answer in units of s.
A police car waits in hiding slightly off the highway. A speeding car is spotted by the police car doing 40 m/s. At the instant the speeding car passes the police car, the police car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s² to catch the speeding car. How long does it take the police car to catch the speeding car?
A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car at some distance behind the truck. The truck has constant acceleration of 0.6 m/s^2, and the car has an acceleration of 0.8 m/s^2. They were side by side after 10 seconds. How far is the car behind the truck initially? What are their velocity when they are side by side?
A motorcycle officer hidden at an intersection observes a car driven by an oblivious driver who ignores a stop sign and continues through the intersection at a constant speed. The police officer takes off in pursuit 2.0s after the car has passed the stop sign. She accelerates at 4.2 m/s^2 until her speed is 110 km/h until she catches the car. The car is 1.4 km from the intersection. a) How long did it take for the officer to catch the car? b) How fast was the car traveling?
Hugo and Big John are in a paw race. When Hugo is 22 m from the finish line, he has a speed of 4.0 m/s and is 5.0 m behind Big John, who has a speed of 5.0 m/s. Big John thinks he has an easy win and so, during the remaining portion of the race, decelerates at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s² to the finish line. What constant acceleration does Hugo now need during the remaining portion of the race, if he wishes to cross the finish line side-by-side with Big John?
A blue car travels down a straight road at a constant speed of 19.1 m/s. As they pass a red car, initially stopped on the side of the road, the red car speeds up at a rate of 2.02 m/s2. How much distance (in m) does the red car travel before it overtakes the blue car?
