Car A is traveling at a constant speed of vA = 130 kph at a location where the speed limit is 100 kph. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. As Car A passes P, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit for 5 seconds and maintained the motion. Meanwhile, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s2 until a velocity of 160 kph is achieved, and that speed is maintained. Determine the deceleration of car A to reach the speed limit,What is the distance traveled by the police to overtake car A, How long did it take for the police officer to overtake car A?

Question

Car A is traveling at a constant speed of vA = 130 kph at a location where the speed limit is 100 kph. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. As Car A passes P, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit for 5 seconds and maintained the motion. Meanwhile, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s2 until a velocity of 160 kph is achieved, and that speed is maintained.

Determine the deceleration of car A to reach the speed limit,What is the distance traveled by the police to overtake car A, How long did it take for the police officer to overtake car A?
