Expert Solution
Step 1

Velocity is a distance over time. that is 

v=st

Here, s is the distance and t is the time.

 

Determine the equation of motion for the position as given below.

s=ut+12at2

Here, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

Given data:

A police officer on a motorcycle watches a speeding car pass and then pursues him after a 33 s delay.

The police motorcycle has zero velocity initially. The velocity of a car is constant. 

 

Initial velocity of a police motorcycle, up=0 ms

Velocity of a car, vc=40 ms

An acceleration of a police motorcycle, a=5.5 ms2
