A trooper is moving due south along the freeway at a speed of 30 m/s. At time t = 0, a red car passes the trooper. The red car moves with constant velocity of 45 m/s southward. At the instant the trooper's car is passed, the trooper begins to speed up at a constant rate of 2.7 m/s2. What is the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car?
A car traveling at a constant speed of 29.0 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. One second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in chase with a constant acceleration of 2.90 m/s2. How long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car?
Problem A car traveling at a constant speed of 24.0 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard, as in Figure 2.17. One second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in chase with a constant acceleration of 3.00 m/s. (a) How long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car? b) How fast is the trooper going at that time? Figure 2.17 (Example 2.5) A speeding car passes a hidden trooper. When does...
A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 49.9 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 17.9 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the Ford just keeps going at a steady [] m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the Ford a distance...
A jeep passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The jeep moves at a constant speed of 38.7 m/s. Just as the jeep passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 21.3 m/s. As soon as the jeep passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the jeep just keeps going at a steady [] m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the jeep a distance...
Suppose that instead of moving at a constant speed, the car in
VP 2.9.1 begins to accelerate at 1 m/s2 at the
moment it passes the school crossing. How much time elapses before
the officer catches up to the car?
What is the position of the car when the officer catches up to
it?

A driver operating a vehicle at a speed of 25.0 m/s intends to pass a second vehicle 2.00 km ahead traveling in the same direction with a speed of 30.0 m/s. The driver of the first vehicle accelerates at a uniform rate to pass the second vehicle, and does so after traveling 4.00 km. Thus, whereas the first (rear) vehicle traverses 4.00 km, the second (front) car only travels 2.00 km, when it is passed. If the driver of the...
A car sits in an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. The driver sees a small gap between a van and an 18- wheel truck and accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 25.0 m/s when it reaches the end of the ramp, which has length 111 m. Part A What is the acceleration of...
On a freeway entrance ramp, you accelerate your 1200-kg car from 5 m/s to 25 m/s over 627 m. Having an open lane, you continue to accelerate at the same constant rate for another 500 m. What is your final speed in m/s? Use one decimal place in your answer.
