A speeding car is traveling along a straight road with a constant speed of 100 km/hour. It passes a police car. The officer starts 5.00 s after the speeder passes. The police car accelerates uniformly (i.e., at a 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. How far ahead of the police car is...

A bicyclist is pedaling down a road at 8 m/sec. A car approaches him from behind. When the car is preparing to pass he sounds his horn. At first the bicyclist hears a frequency of 520 HZ but the sound appears to drop in frequency to 470 HZ after the car passes. a) How fast is the car moving? (v sound = 340 m/sec)(answer to nearest whole number) b) what is the actual frequency of the horn (don't assume it...

Sirens wailing, a black government car pushes through the traffic, past the beggars and street vendors, up a potholed road. Vehicles like these, the perks of a growing number of political appointees, are a common sight in Accra—and a source of popular outrage. Since Nana Akufo-Addo took office as president in January 2017 the number of government ministers has soared by 42% to 125, each with a car, guards and a taxpayer-funded home. Outside Ghana Mr Akufo-Addo has been hailed...

Objects that move in a straight line with a constant speed—not speeding up or slowing down—have zero acceleration. We call this kind of motion: Uniform Motion. We can identify uniform motion when the object travels equal distance intervals in equal times. We can identify non-uniform motion, or accelerated motion, when the object travels equal distance intervals in unequal times. Finally, we have two types of non-uniform motion: motion with constant acceleration and motion with a non-constant (or changing) acceleration. Activity...
