A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un

iform acceleration of 2.75 m/s 2 . How much time passes before the speeder is overtaken by the police car? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t

and the police car distance:

x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being t=0

The second solution will be:

0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder

Initial velocity 10 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s for 2 seconds whats the final velocity
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>The final velocity is 20 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s, a=5\ m/s^2, t=2 s. The final velocity is:

v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s

v_f=20\ m/s

The final velocity is 20 m/s.
