A driver traveling at a constant speed of 15m/s passes through an intersection whose speed limit is 10m/s. At that precise moment, a police officer, who is standing at the intersection, starts on his motorcycle to chase the offender with a constant acceleration of 3m/s^2 and catches up with him. a) Calculate the time they meet how far. b) Solve it graphically, that is, graph the position as a function of time for each one in the same graph. b) Draw the graph of velocity as a function of time, which represents the movement of the vehicles.
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one‐way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, a. how long did it take Burt to complete the course? b. Sketch position vs time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the race.

A speeding driver noticed a police car parked about 75 m in from of him on the side of the road and reduced his speed at a constant rate from 35 m/s for a duration of 2.9 seconds as he drove past the police car. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)? Hint: the initial position of the car can be set at the origin. Your Answer:
Tim and Rick both can run at speed or and walk at speed vw, with vr > vw. They set off together on a journey of distance D. Rick walks half of the distance and runs the other half. Tim walks half of the time and runs the other half. How long does it take Rick to cover the distance D? Find Rick's average speed for covering the distance D. How long does it take Tim to cover the distance?
Displacement, time, and Average Velocity A commuter typically travels on a freeway between Baguio and La Union at an average speed of 105km/hr (65mi/hr), and the trip takes 2hr and 20 min. On a Monday afternoon, however, heavy traffic is slows down the trip. If the same distance the commuter is travelling at an average speed of 70km/hr ( 43mi/hr). How much longer does the trip take?
A) Compute the position of the sandbag at a time 1.25 s after its release. Express your answer in meters. B) Compute the magnitude of the velocity of the sandbag at a time 1.25 s after its release. Express your answer in meters per second.
Two bikers are cycling from the Greater Toronto Area to Kingston. The first biker, Merckx, started 200 kilometers (KMs) away from Kingston. The second, Froome started 20KM behind Merckx. Both cyclists start out slowly, but Merckx suffers a bike fault delaying them from starting for 11 hours and giving Froome a head start. Assuming the bikers match the below speed representing the maximum speeds of each biker from the time they begin moving, which biker will reach Kingston first and when? Which of the following answer is correct: a) Merckx in 36.2 hours b) Merckx in 31.2 hours c) Froome in 38.7 hours d) Froome in 35.6 hours
