A police car is traveling in a straight line with a constant speed "Vp". A truck traveling in the same direction with the speed "3*Vp/2" passes the police car. The truck begins to slow down (the moment it passes the police car) at a constant acceleration of "-a" until it comes to a stop. Then the police car passes the truck.

What is the maximum velocity the truck can have, so that the police car will reach him before he stops?

    A speeding car is traveling along a straight road with a constant speed of 100 km/hour. It passes a police car. The police car starts 5.00 s after the speeder passes. The police car accelerates uniformly (i.e. at constant acceleration) for 10.0 s, at the end of which its speed is 120 km/hour. After that, the police car moves with the constant speed of 120 km/hour till it reaches the speeding car. a) How far ahead of the police car...

    Review Interactive LearningWare 2.2 in preparation for this problem. A police car is traveling at a velocity of 17.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant velocity of 45.0 m/s due north. After a reaction time 0.800 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 6.00 m/s 2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder? Vp North -- Police car...

    Two cars are driving at the same constant speed on a straight road, with car 1 in front of car 2. Car 1 suddenly starts to brake with constant acceleration and stops in 10 m. At the instant car 1 comes to a stop, car 2 begins to brake with the same acceleration. It comes to a halt just as it reaches the back of car 1. What was the separation between the cars before they starting braking?

    An unmarked police car, traveling a constant 90.0 km/h, is passed by a speeder traveling 166.0 km/h. Precisely 3.40 seconds after the speeder passes, the policeman steps on the accelerator. If the police car's acceleration is 2.1 m/s2, how much time elapses after the police car is passed until it overtakes the speeder (assumed moving at constant speed)?
