3. Bob wanted to reach the peak of a mountain. He started at the base and started driving a car towards the peak of the mountain. The car started at 0 mph and the speed increased over time to 40 mph. Halfway towards the peak of the mountain, the terrain became too rugged and Bob instantly stopped his car to analyze the terrain. After spending time observing the terrain, Bob decided to instantly climb the rocky terrain at a slow pace. Once Bob passed the rocky terrain he realized his shins were cut up so he immediately travelled back to the car at the same slow pace as before. After spending time putting on bandages, he realized there was a side path to the peak of the mountain. He immediately started running to the peak of the mountain and eventually reached the peak. Graph the relationship between Bob’s (a) distance and time and (b) position and time. For the graph, make it clear what part of your function corresponds with his different parts of his travels.

A speeding motorcyclist is traveling at a constant speed of 31.1 m per s when he passes a police car parked on the side of the road. The radar, positioned in the police car's rear window, measures the speed of the motorcycle. At the instant the motorcycle passes the police car, the police officer starts to chase the motorcyclist with a constant acceleration of 4.11 m per2. a) How long will it take the police officer to catch the motorcyclist? b) What is the speed of the police car when it catches up to the motorcycle? c) How far will the police car be from its original position?
