A car moving at a constant speed of 40m/s overtakes a stationary police car which immediately starts to chase the speeding car at a constant acceleration.

What is the speed of the police car when it overtakes the speeding car?

(Note: No other knowns except speed of speeding car and that the police car has constant acceleration).

Expert Solution

Summary:- In this question we let particular value of police car acceleration and further solve when police car overtakes the speeding car then what is speed of police car.

A stationary police car is passed by a driver driving at a constant speed of 130 km / h.

A stationary police car is passed by a driver driving at a constant speed of 130 km / h. The police officer catches the fast-moving driver after 750 m at constant acceleration. a) Draw a plot of position time over the period of action of each vehicle. b) How soon will the police car catch the driver? c) The acceleration required for the police car d) What is the speed of the police car at the point of capture?

A car travelling at constant speed passes by a stationary pedestrian as the car driver sounds the horn. As the car approaches the pedestrian she hears the horn sounding at 50 Hz. Once the car has driven past her, she hears the horn sounding at 10 Hz. Calculate the frequency in Hz of the sound waves emitted by the car horn.

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 28 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car begins to accelerate at a constant rate of 1.2 m/s^2 and passes the truck 545 m farther down the road. What was the speed of the car (in meters/second) when it was first passed by the truck?

1. A boy in a pedal car is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is 54.5 kg, air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N, and the speed at the lower end of the incline is 6.80 m/s. Determine the work done (in J) by the boy as the car travels down the incline. 2....
