Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car Pobserves this speed via radar. The driver of car A is traveling at VA - 120 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 5.7 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 5.2 m/s² until a speed of 156 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A

A speed trap is set up with two pressure activated strips placed across a highway, 117 meters apart. A car is speeding along at 33.6 meters per second, while the speed limit is only 19 meters per second. At the instant the car activates the first strip, the driver begins slowing down. What minimum deceleration (magnitude only) is needed so that the driver's average speed is within the limit by the time the car crosses the second strip?
Two cars which are separated by 2.67 km are moving on the same direction. The car in front is moving at a constant velocity of 39.02 km/hr, while the second car is moving at a constant velocity of 63.8 km/hr. Determine the distance (in km) covered by the second car at the moment it overtake the first car? Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.

Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A is traveling at vA = 122 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 6.0 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 6.0 m/s2 until a speed of 163 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A.

Usually, Tony travels to Bunbury from Perth city in 2.50 hours. One day he increases his average speed by 12.0 km/h and takes 22.5 minutes less time to reach Bunbury. (a) What was his usual average speed? What was the distance travelled? (b) On the way he stopped at a rail crossing (6.00 m wide) and a train (total length 144m) decelerating at -0.585 ms2 just entered the crossing with a velocity of 13.7 m s¹. Sketch a diagram and find the minimum time for the last carriage of the train to clear the crossing.
Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A sees and reacts very unwisely to the police car P. Car A is traveling at VA = 125 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 5.2 seconds, the car uniformly accelerates to 147 km/h, after which that speed is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.1 m/s² until a speed of 175 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= i VA NIG P ! m

Traffic shock wave. An abrupt slowdown in concentrated traffic can travel as a pulse, termed a shock wave, along the line of cars, either downstream (in the traffic direction) or upstream, or it can be stationary. The figure shows a uniformly spaced line of cars moving at speed v = 27.0 m/s toward a uniformly spaced line of slow cars moving at speed vs = 5.30 m/s. Assume that each faster car adds length L = 13.0 m (car length plus buffer zone) to the line of slow cars when it joins the line, and assume it slows abruptly at the last instant. (a) For what separation distance d between the faster cars does the shock wave remain stationary? If the separation is twice that amount, what are the (b) speed and (c) direction (upstream or downstream) of the shock wave?
A motorist traveling with a constant velocity of 30 m/s passes E school-crossing comer, where the speed limit is 20 km/h. Just as the motorist passes, a traffic officer on a motorcycle stopped at the comer starts off in pursuit with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s What is the officer's speed at that point (in m/s) (when the officer catches up with the motorist)?
