The time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.

<h3>What time will the police car catch up with the speeding motorist?</h3>

The police car and the motorist will cover equal distances.

Let the distance covered be d.

Distance covered by the motorist  = speed * time

time = t, speed = 30 m/s

d = 30t

Distance covered by the police car = acceleration * (time)

time = t - 2, acceleration = 5.0 m/s²

d = 5(t-2)²

d = 5(t² - 4t + 4)

d = 5t² - 20t + 20

Equating the two equations for distance

5t² - 20t + 20 = 30t

5t² - 50t + 20 = 0

Solving for t using the quadratic formula:

t = 9.6 second or 0.4 seconds

Since t > 2, t = 9.6 seconds

t - 2 = 9.6 - 2

t - 2 = 7.6 seconds

Therefore, the time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first thing to have to make a diagram where we indicate the forces acting on the block, see attached. We have the following

  The weight (W) that is vertical

  The friction force (fr) that opposes the movement

  The driving force (F)

  The normal (N) which is the reaction to the support of the body and is perpendicular to the surface

We write a reference system where one axis is parallel to the surface (x axis) and the other is perpendicular to it (Y axis) we decompose the forces on these axes, we see that the only force we have to decompose r is the weight

             sin θ  = Wx / W       ⇒      Wx = W sin θ

             cos θ = Xy / W        ⇒      Wy = Wcos θ

We write Newton's equations for each axis

             N- Wy = 0

             F -fr -Wx = m a          (1)

The expression for the friction force is

             fr = μ N

             N = Wy

             N = W cos θ

             fr = μ mg cosT

   

We hope, we simplify the acceleration of equation 1

           a = F - μ mg cos θ -mg sinθ

           a = F - mg (μ cos θ -sin θ)

This is the general equation for movement.
